Robotics In Action
by Phyllis Lussier
This lesson uses Edison Robots but any programmable robot can be used. Students explore how to block code a robot to create a sequence of events. Their program is tested for accuracy and revised for success. Students have the opportunity to work together, collaborate and problem solve. This lesson uses EdScratch which has other features that allow students to stretch their understanding of coding. Any unit of study or theme could be used with this lesson. The emphasis is exposure to basic block coding/ sequencing,
