Our first day of Week 2 was a great one! We covered the 3+1 laws of (Bell Brick) Robotics. The 3 (+1) laws are, Respect Each Other, Take Turns, Listen, and Take Care of your Bots! We talked about what a robot is. How are robots different from one another? What is their purpose? How are they different from people? What parts make up a robot? Campers settled on the definition of a robot as "something created from technology that can help you with things". We learned about sensors, programs, design, and revision. Campers designed robots in groups, then built and revised them using the creative bricks. We then shared our designs with one another, and met the teacher robot, Alpha Trion. He's the EV3 bot that helps us learn about motors, sensors, programs, and computing. At the end of the day, campers wrote programs to navigate a six-foot tall silver robot along a blue line on the floor.
