This 2 week block is a creative play module where they have to make a machine / robot to draw patterns on a piece of paper so the first step was to design the wiring diagram.
Once they had designed their circuit they had to make it. They had to solder all the wires together and to the motor and make a battery box for the batteries.
The first step was to learn how to use the soldering iron correctly and how to solder wires together and not burn themselves in the process !
In class they were designing and making the battery boxes ready for the next lesson. This was not as easy as it sounds but there were some good construction going on and some great modifications being made !
Once we had it all working we needed to get a container of some sort for the robot body and attach the motor to it.
The next step was to make the "ROBOT DANCE!" - there was a lot of trial and error before we had some good dancers.
Now it was time to put on the felt tips and then the robots danced and drew patterns on the paper....
We will put the results up here once we have processed the videoes
Another successful 2 week module !
