    [Curriculum-1.0] Create lesson 7 from level 2.5

    Created the seventh lesson in level 2.5.

    The topic of the lesson is making an aircraft carrier robot to learn about gyro sensor. The students have variant tasks for making the aircraft carrier shoot paper airplanes. For now it is still mostly in bulgarian, but it will be translated.

    [Curriculum-1.1] Create lesson 1 in course Python for EV3

    Lesson 1 from the Python course was created. In it, the students get to program a waiter robot that brings them beverages. This lesson is a great introduction to programming robots using the Python programming language.

    [Curriculum-1.1] Python for EV3 lesson 0: Create a series of tutorials that show how to set up a workspace for python programming EV3 robots

    Lesson 0 from the Python course was created. It's meant as a step by step guide to setting up a workstation for programming EV3 robots with Visual Studio Code. This lesson is created for the teachers, who will be preparing the classroom for the following lessons in this course.

    Setup


    [Curriculum-1.1] Create lesson 3 in course Python for EV3

    Lesson 3 from the Python for EV3 course was created. In this lesson, students recreate the Luna 3 mission by programming a robot to take a picture of the backside of an object. Here they will learn where to find the list of commands and the entire MicroPython documentation.

    The dark side of the moon


    [Curriculum-1.1] Create lesson 2 in course Python for EV3

    Lesson 2 from the Python for EV3 course was created. In it, students build a robot that can lift objects to simulate a waiter presenting a mug to a client. The students will learn to control the amount of motor movement, how to use the motor brakes and a new command that allows them to program the entire motor movement in a single line.
