Read through this Robot Challenge book. Look for ideas to support your groups planning to design a challenge for the class to do.
In your groups, work as a team to build your Bot. Will your robot be able to successfully complete the challenges?
What changes can you make to your robot, so it is able to work efficiently to achieve set goals?
DON'T FORGET TO CAPTURE YOUR EVIDENCE!
What skills and competencies did your team demonstrate during the planning, building and testing stages of your robot build? Give examples, e.g., what waka hoe values did you demonstrate?
What have you learnt are KEY to achieving your goals?
