Spike Essential Robotics Card
Aim: To develop robotics skills, combining mechanical construction and programming. To understand how sensors/motors work and how to use them as needed. To encourage students to be creative and to work/collaborate independently. Explanation: What is a colour sensor? A light matrix? An electric motor? What is a condition useful for in programming? Come and discover the basics of robotics, mechanics and programming with Lego Spike Essential! Projects are done in teams of two. Term breakdown Term 1: World Tour Simple projects, based on Lego software models, on the theme of travel. Students set off to discover the world aboard their snowmobile, boat or cable car. Term 2: Extraordinary Machines Creation of incredible machines, which can, among other things, generate music or even draw without external help! Term 3: Amusement Park Projects based on Lego software models, on the theme of amusement parks and funfairs. Participants will experience thrills by creating rides wilder than the last! Requirements: Be motivated and ready to collaborate! Other than that, no prerequisites are necessary. Programming is done with icon blocks, so reading skills are not required. However, if the student wishes to be challenged, it is possible to change the programming to word blocks.
