This week the students continued building their team model. As well, the teams began to work on their team journey poster. One aspect of the competition is that each team must document the process of preparing for the competition and then create a poster showing their team journey. Coaches sat down with each team to begin planning out the poster and to decide what pictures and drawings to include. While some teams worked on their poster other students rotated between spheros and osmos.
As a special treat our Monday and Friday team got a demonstration of the Upper Team's robot!
This week the Tuesday/Thursday team started a new design challenge: sphero chariots. Students were tasked with creating a chariot for their sphero out of common materials such as plastic cups, popsicle sticks, and pipe cleaners. Once complete the students will race them around a course.
Both teams finalized their plans for their team journey poster. As well students finished the static portion of their team model build. The next steps are to decide what part(s) of their build will be automated.
