Unit 1 Modules (archived - 2022-2023)
My Dream Bot
This activity is designed to help students make connections across the modules in Unit 1. We've added slide at the end of each one of the decks in this module and provided preview on this site to help you plan your activities for the day.
In this activity, students will envision a robot that solves a societal problem they care about. After each module, they will add more details about their robot and how it works based on the main concepts presented in the module.
Implementation: Each student should make a copy of the slide deck and use it to incrementally work through the slides building their bot. If students need some support with designing the physical structure of their robots, they can give students the Imagine Your Robot slides.
Preparation: You can design your own robot as a model that you can show students to help them see how they might make connections between the module's content and their robot.

Build Your Own Robot
This activity is designed for students to extend the My Dream Bot activity into a polished end of unit project
Suggestions:
If students have completed the My Dream Bot activty as they worked through the unit, you can have them review their My Dream bot slides to see how they might refine the functionality of their robot. This can be done in pairs.
If the student did not work on the My Dream Bot activity, they could do this first as a way to scaffold the their work in the mini-project.
