SMART GOAL SPECIFIC SENTENCE: I will learn about Robotics using Sphero
HOW TO SAVE: Make sure you renamed your program > It saves automatically > place Sphero in the charger and charge the tablet
Sphero is an awesome spherical robot that you can program!
Start with these programming challenges:
Roll around a chair and land in the same spot (tape square on the floor, watch the first video)
Roll around an island and land in the same spot
Creating an animation on the Matrix (watch the second video below)
What I'll Learn
I CAN write a program to perform a task
I CAN solve a problem using the code I write
I CAN use variables and loops to help my code
Stuff I'll Need
Sphero Robot
Classroom iPad + Sphero EDU app
Tutorial to follow instructions
Day 1
Follow the tutorial to create your first programs
Day 3
Try to get around an island and back in the box
Day 2
Work through the programming challenges
Day 4
Create a matrix animation or maze challenge
Where is Robotics used in the Real World?
Automation
Robots can do some jobs more efficiently with less energy/cost
Exploration
Robots can handle conditions that humans cannot, like in space or deep underwater
Rescue
