Western Expansion with Bee-Bots or Dash Robots
by Tina Kennedy
Using the Engineering Design Process, students work in teams to create a covered wagon that the Bee-Bot pulls as they program on a mat from Missouri to Oregon. Students are learning about the Western Expansion on the Oregon Trail as they practice programming algorithms on the Bee-Bot to get to different destinations. Other robots could be used for this lesson.
