Sixth graders in art tech class were given a challenge to program an EV3 robot to follow the edge of a black line and throw three target objects into the robot's catcher box. Color sensor readings are used to adjust drive motor speeds so the robots move along the edge of the line. The robots were built by students in our Friday robotics group. The paper catcher boxes were built and attached by sixth graders. Bruen and Haiden are shown in the video titled "6th grade line follower challenge-2023-24.mov" as they are cheered on by friends while successfully running robots autonomously with code that they wrote on their iPads.
The first graders of the 1B and 1S art classes proudly display their "Mr. and Ms. Mousey Head" paper sculptures in the group photos shown below. Details of the project are visible in the closeup photos of artwork by Devenie Delph and Teddy Compton. In this geometry-based project, students internalize the concept of the cone by making them from paper plates. The cone serves as the base form upon which each student works creatively to give his or her mouse a unique personality. Materials include colored tissue paper, a glue/water mixture, card stock, yarn, corn, pom poms, cotton, tape, and paper clips.
