Space Robotics
10/12/2019
Space Week is almost here! This Thursday for “A Night at the Space Museum,” our class will have a display of what robotics could look like on the moon! After exploring articles and video clips of the role robotics play in space, they began building programmable lego moon rovers. The challenge for each group is to build and program a vehicle to do a specific task for their “moon base.” They are collaborating and problem-solving to code their vehicle. As a class, we are thinking about what challenges astronauts would face if they lived on the moon. What is the climate on the moon? What would astronauts need robots to do on the moon? These questions will help guide us in coding our robots and designing our moon base. Throughout this process at PNA, students are practicing their communication and collaboration skills. When something fails, they learn patience as they try different solutions. We hope you can join us on Thursday night from 6:00-8:00 to see our finished product! Comments are closed.
