Coding And Robotics

We visited the Apple Store to learn to use Ipads to write code and control a robotic sphere through a series of mazes.  The students learned to write a sequence of simple commands to make the sphere roll forward, stop and turn at the appropriate time.  They controlled the speed of the sphere, the angle it turned and the number of seconds that it travelled.  The students cooperated with each other in small groups to complete the mazes.

Several staff members from the Apple Store helped the students.

Lots of cooperation and discussions between group members.

Some mazes involved only one angle and some involved 3 or more!

Stopping precisely on the X was difficult but not impossible.

Thank you Apple Store for the USB bracelets and Apple pins.
