The main robotics goal for sixth graders in art tech class is to program their team's robot to follow the edge of a black line and throw three target objects into the robot's catcher box. Each group of 3 or 4 students works with a Lego Education EV3 robot which was built by sixth graders. The robots use color sensors to detect the degree of light intensity reflected from their table's surface. Students program their robots to use color sensor readings to adjust drive motor speeds so the robots will move along the edge of a black line. Students write programming code with the EV3 Classroom app on their iPads.
Third graders of the 3H class are shown launching their paper and cardboard jets in the video below. Two jets from the 3H class are shown in photos below. Structural reasoning, measurement, design, and considerations of color were important parts of the process. Four sixth graders worked after school to take their grade's Art Tech robotics challenge to the next level. They wanted to see how many of the target objects they could program their robot to "eat"! Watch the video below to find out.
