Overview

Lesson Objectives

Students will…

• Blend the concepts of the book with coding procedures to demonstrate understanding of emotions.
• Test and iterate using different coding and robot designs to display emotions
• Learn how to download programs and move them to the Micro:bit file to run on the Micro:bit.
• Use the design thinking process to develop an understanding for a problem or user need.
• Apply their understanding in a creative way by creating a robot that displays emotion

In this second project, we will focus on making the abstract feel real. When we think of emotions we often know what they are, but to define and display them can be much more difficult. Even more, can robots actually have emotions?
