Activity 1.1A - Sandwich Algorithm
Activity 1.1A - Sandwich Algorithm
An algorithm is a procedure or formula for solving a problem. A computer program can be viewed as an elaborate algorithm.
In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm usually involves a small procedure that solves a recurrent problem.
In this activity, students will write the steps to solve the recurrent problem of how to make the perfect sandwich.
Activity 1.1B - VEX Build
Activity 1.1B - VEX Build
In this activity you will build a VEX® model and then communicate to a partner exactly how to build the same model, given the same pieces.
Activity 1.2 - What Do We Use Robots For?
Activity 1.2 - What Do We Use Robots For?
Robots are powerful machines that give us access to places that are otherwise inaccessible to humans and perform tasks that are dangerous or tedious. In this activity you will explore the field of robotics through your own research.
