I was so excited to see the girls again after school today. They worked hard to finish their robots- and to my surprise both groups are almost done building! Next Monday I want them to finish up the basic structure so we can play around with programming directly on the NXT brick. I want to show them how motors and sensors works so they get a feel for their robots. Then I am going to show them how to log onto their LabView software in the lab.
We will probably finish up next Monday with a quick writing assignment or reading lesson about programming. Then the hard stuff will begin before we leave for Christmas break! Wow...this semester has gone by quickly.
Over the holiday break I will be planning out our last lessons and some cool programming options, as well as my final presentation and speech. I will also be stringing my research papers together to form some sort of finished thesis paper.
Keep reading! I am so proud of the girls- and how this project is going. I know Ashley Hall is already working on developing a LEGO robotics curriculum for next year! See you next Monday!
