Exploring Arizona with Santa and Robots (Edisons)
Students will gain knowledge about Arizona's geography, culture, and history through the book "Santa is Coming to Arizona." They will develop basic programming and problem-solving skills by programming Edison robots to navigate through a map of Arizona. Using the engineering design process, students will design a sleigh to carry eight gifts the fastest to locations throughout Arizona.

This lesson is based on a Navajo Story: "The Three Little Sheep". The story connects to the famous, "The Three Little Pigs". Students become engineers and create different dwelling models: a grass hut
Students use large building bricks to practice computational thinking, direction giving and being specific in those directions. This lesson can be completed in one 30-45 minute class session. This is
This lesson is an introduction to CAD, possibly leading up to 3D printing. The idea is to be familiar with CAD and more specifically the TinkerCAD application.
