Day 1: Programming basics
Today's goal is to learn the basics of computer programming. We will discuss how computers use basic instructions to carry out tasks and solve problems. We will learn how to design simple algorithms. Finally, we will meet our robots and gain experience with our programming environment.
- Unplugged activity: Peanut butter and jelly!
- Lesson: variables, sensors, controlling our robots
- Lab: Spiro-bot!
Resources
Lab
For today's lab activity, we will build our robots using these instructions. Once our robots are constructed, we will use them to draw cool spirograph pictures!
