Unit 3: Robots to the Rescue
Essential Question: How do people use robots to solve problems?
Project Description: This project is designed to encourage students to examine different ways people use robots to solve problems. Students are introduced to Ozobot robots and begin to explore how they work. Throughout the unit students learn how to take care of and program the Ozobots, and participate in Hour of Code activities.
Students become Ozobot ambassadors for their school site. Their mission is to create an eBook to share with other classrooms to explain how to care for and program the robots. In a design challenge, students use the design thinking process to create an Ozobot track to help deliver food to a family in need.
