Use this opportunity to point out the different “features” ofĭash (wheels, sensors, buttons, speaker, colors, etc) Turing), Watson (machine), Charlie (Charles Babbage), Ada (Ada Lovelace), Gracie (for Grace Hopper), Stevie (Steven Jobs), Allie (for Allan That at this point the students can name Dash. Remember how we said that robots areĬontrolled? We will use Apps on this tablet to control our robot. Started? Once they mention that you have to turn it on, ask them for where they The students some questions - If we want to work with this robot, how do we get Holds up the robots (starting with Dash). Students on the floor in groups (later each group will be given a robot and a 1.5.2 First Activity with Dash & Dot – Name the Robots We treat these robots? What are some of the things we should NOT do to these robots? Is the difference between a robot and a toy? Robots are very expensive. Or according to instructions programmed in advance.". Mechanical device that is capable of performing a variety of tasks on command (You mayĪlso write a formal definition such as "A The students then devise a definition which is written on the board. On the whiteboard the different features that they items have in common sweeping floors, building things in a factory, flying and What are some of the other purposes for robots? Discuss how the NASA engineers create robots for a special.Introduce engineers and robotics with a video clip from PBS Have you heard of NASA? Their engineers create robots that go up.Explain how doing science involves many different kinds of workĪnd engages men and women of all ages and backgrounds.Take part in, as they have for many centuries. Describe how science is an adventure that people everywhere can.You name any famous robots? (some samples might be from TV (fictional) or Have you used it yourself, or heard about it, or seen it on TV? What makes that item a robot? What can it do?.Something that you might use, or have seen, that might be a robot? Will start the class by discussing the main objective which is the concept of To the lesson introduce the idea of programming/coding via the video clip Introduce Dash via the Make Wonder Apps (Go and Path).Įxplore the “Go” App. Have the students go home and look up these individuals to see what they canįind out about them, and what made them special The names willīe both male and female based on famous computer scientists. Discussĭifference between these robots and toys. Discuss engineers and what theyĮxamine as a class the different features on Dot & Dash. Video about a NASA engineer building a robot. Up a definition for robot (and robotics), Students to come up with different robots and characteristics for robots, write Introduction – Taking Care of Dash 1.4 Lesson Procedure.A projector onto a white board to display the App controls from a.Introduce robotics with a video clip from PBS.(if floor is carpet, then need rolls of paper taped together).

Will then physically examine the robots to see if they can identify or With the aim of creating a definition of robots and the field of robotics. from movies, television shows and commercials, and the news), Students will brainstormĪttributes of robots by discussing familiar robots from their personalĮxperience (ie. Into the broader context of computer science. Terminology and functionality of simple robots as they fit into daily life and In this lesson, students will be introduced to the basic 1 Introduction to Robotics with Dash & Dot
