What is engineering?
Goal: I can understand that architects and engineers work together to design buildings.
As engineers and architects, can we use our talents and passions to leverage technology to meet our communities needs?
What's the difference between and engineer and architect?
Which do you think you prefer and why?
Constructions sites can be dangerous places. How do construction managers work to keep build sites safe? What kids of safety equipment can you think of?
Let's get familiar with the WeDo kits today. We're going to practice a building a simple safety robot.
When done, disassemble robot for build #2.
For our WeDo sets to work, we have to keep track of all the pieces and keep the kits organized. Click the button below to see how to put all your pieces back in the right place.
Let's use the battery pack from your robot to power your crane!
On the iPad in the WeDo 2.0 app, start a “New Project”.
Use the two algorithms below to make the crane raise and lower its platform.
Make any changes that could improve how the programs work. For example, you could change the number of seconds that the motor is on and/or combine the program strings into a single program.
Save crane with motor for EE#4 and showcase.
Use your device to take pictures of your progress. You will take pictures after each building addition.
