Description
After a short introduction to the basic concepts of IT andthe components of the Lego Mindstorms models, the children build a robot based on the instructions and receive a series of 10 exercises to complete. In groups of 2 children per team within a defined time frame (roughly 20 to 30 mins per exercise), each team works out the solutions for the exercises step by step:
- Preparation of the program instructions on the tablet/computer and upload to the robot.
- Running the program on the individual team's playground and fine tune the program via trial-and-error.
- At the end of each task, each team presents their solution to the other teams.
- In the last exercise of the workshop, all teams participate in a competition on the common playground.
