We Do 2.0- Sending Messages Bot

 Today I researched more information on our bot and the activity. 

We Do 2.0 Lego Learning Activity.

Design Thinking Model-

·         Empathize- seek understanding. (Question Everything)

·         Define- role/objectives, and challenges.

·         Ideate- share ideas, prioritize.

·         Prototype- Keep it simple, make a mockup, build, and learn.

·         Test- What works, what doesn’t, Show/don’t tell.

1.       Activity Guide: (include microteaching videos, Table of Contents in blog

2.       ISTE Standards: (Choose two or more of the standards to highlight in your portfolio.) 

SENDING MESSAGES-

A project about designing a solution for exchanging information using a system of signals organized in patterns.

                Materials needed:

·         We Do a 2.0 Lego Core Kit.

·         A computer or laptop- (To be used to code and communicate with a bot)

·         Download the We Do 2.0 Software or programming app.  

·         A fun willingness to explore and learn.

Objective:  

                The students will-

·         Explore how messages can be transferred from one place to another.

·         Create and program a joystick that will allow you to send messages by using codes.

·         Test your program and invent new ways to exchange information.

·         Share your program and ideas for how to succeed in this project with others.

·         The students will use sensors (inputs), loops, and parallel programming.

Standards/Expectations:

(Physical Sciences- 4-PS-4-3) (Engineering, Technology, and Applied Science 3-5ETS1.1, ETS1.2, ETS1.3)

                Waves: Waves of information (4-PS4-1) To Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength, and that waves can cause objects to move or make sound.

                Engineering (3-5 ETS1.1-1.3)

·         3-5 ETS 1.1- To Define a simple design problem reflecting a need that includes specified criteria for success, and constraints on materials, time, or costs.

·         3-5 ETS 1.2- Generate and compare multiple, possible solutions to a problem based on how well each meets the criteria and constraints of the problem.

·         3-5 ETS 1.3- Plan and carry out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered to identify aspects of the model or prototype that can be improved.

Guided Project Overview-

1.       Students will ask questions and define a problem.

2.       Use mathematics and computational thinking.

3.       Students will construct explanations and design a solution.

4.       Students will engage in arguments from evidence.

5.       Students will obtain, evaluate, and communicate information.

CSTA Standards-

·         K-2 (1A-A-3-7)

·         K-2 (2A-A-6-8)

·         K-2 (1A-C-7-10)

·         K-2 (1A-C-6-11)

·         K-2 (1A-D-4-14)
