Sixth grade is off and running with their robotics unit in technology. We began the year by exploring the construction process and assembling a project with no directions or guides. Many found it challenging, but rose to the occasion. After this opening experiment, we moved into constructing a simple bot that could move with simple commands. As we progressed, we learned how to use math in calculating exact distances traveled. Currently, we are exploring the Mars Rover challenge which requires a lot of math calculations and the use of ratios to get exact turns in order to navigate the simulated surface of Mars. Stay tuned as we explore further into the world of robotics!
