Coding Your Emotions with Cue

Students in Ms. Little's Personal Development class learned how to code CUE robots. They gave these humanoid robots emotions, actions and phrases that relate to the Social Emotional Learning "Zones of Regulation." The robots were given problems faced by students. They were then coded to hit different points on a track that would portray the different responses they might have to those problems. 

The students first had to learn some of the basics of writing code for their CUE robot.

The class drew various points along a long sheet as a track for their CUE to follow. They thought of scenarios for their robot and the various ways he could react to that problem. Their robot was coded to hit each spot showing a different color based on its feelings, something he would say and a movement that related to those feelings. CUE would then continue in the coded path to a different location where he would act through another set of emotions, continuing this process until he reached the end.
