Students will end the class with a working robot and an understanding of how it works.Class Experience
Learners will work together via Zoom to create their own moving robots. We will begin with a discussion of what a robot is and how we encounter them in our everyday lives. We will discuss what a circuit is and how they work. Then learners will follow the steps to create a working circuit to power their robot's motor. We will work together to assemble these and attach them to the base we will create with a popsicle stick and two toothbrush heads. Learners will then add decorative elements to their robot to finish. We will end the session by sharing what we learned and our finished robots. As a note, I am happy to teach to single learners and I do not cancel due to low enrollment.
Learning Goals
Students will explore how commonly found items can be combined to create a moving robot.Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students will be using a glue gun, cutting pliers and possibly a wire stripper.
Supply List
*A large popsicle stick *Cell phone motor (https://www.amazon.com/Tegg-Vibrating-Vibration-Mobile-10x2-7mm/dp/B07P6NCV4N/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=cell+phone+motors&qid=1587836757&sr=8-8) *Two toothbrush heads *Cutting pliers to separate the toothbrush heads from their handle *Wire stripper (students might possibly need this to be able to attach the wires from the motor to their battery) *A CR-2032 battery *Tape *Hot glue gun (low temperature will work well) *Decorative materials like wiggle eyes and plastic spangles
