Instruction:
- Review what we know about robots and reflect on robot experiences thus far.
- Point out Robots come in all sizes and are not coded in the same way
- Introduce miniature robot, Ozobot.
- It can be coded different ways
- Line coding paired with color sequencing and flash coding
- It can be coded different ways
- Begin with line coding
- Introduce what calibrating is
- Why is it necessary? How do you calibrate Ozobot?
- Students use prepared tracks by Ozobot to watch their Ozobot move by reading line code and color sequencing
- Students practice using markers to draw readable lines for Ozobot
- Students collaborate, design, create and draw a playground filled with tracks.
- Problem solve when necessary
- Trade playgrounds with other students
- Introduce what calibrating is
- Next, flash coding
- Introduce ozoblockly.com to students
- Review concept of "blockly" coding
- Model, code and calibrate together whole class.
- Discuss difference in line coding and flash coding
- Students collaborate, create and code Ozobot
- Problem solve and debug
- Share and reflect on created coding with other students
