WeDo Giants

Did you know that even before electricity was invented, people were imagining "robots"? Stories in Greek mythology refer to a giant Metal monster named Talos who protected the island of Crete. Today third graders designed their own giant and programmed it to scare away possible attackers. Some students even had a chance to add motion sensors. Check out their work - if you dare.

Vibrobots!

Fourth graders really had an "educationally amusing" challenge! We definitely had to have a growth mindset by figuring out what wouldn't work in order to get things to work! After all, we are hear to learn from our attempts! Students engineered robots out of some basic materials. The question this science experiment asked was "How does changing the counterweight on the motor effect the performance of the robot?" Most predicted a balanced weight (3 cm) would create the best performance (art). Watch the robot performances as they create art with the counterbalance at 1 cm, 3 cm, and 5.5 cm.

Fred Sails Around the World!

Fred learned from his mistake! Now he always wears a life preserver around water! Fred has decided to sail around the world. Watch the video to see his big adventure! BEHIND THE SCENES EXCLUSIVE! Check out our third graders hard at work preparing Fred for his journey. To be successful they showed problem-solving skills, collaboration, attention to detail, and creativity as they build, modified, and programmed our Lego WeDo robots.

Monster Robots!

Today students built robots from a plan,modified monsterfied them, and programmed them. Check out the crazy monster robots!
