Exploring Arizona with Santa and Robots (Edisons)
by Liana Gillespie
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.
