Thursday 11/7

opening Opening Activity:

This is a long video, so speed it up if you want - all missions done with the basic Educator robot.

And, missions with a bigger robot (but they break some rules).

classworkClasswork:

Let's improve our mission analysis. Decide what you want your robot to do, and come up with ways to improve
your robot to make it possible. Remember the links I gave yesterday.

Describe your ideas on the worksheets called Mission Suggestion in Google Drive.

Kitties, you won't be changing your robot, but come up with ideas for the next set of missions you will program.

**********************************************************

Tuesday 11/5

Today, focus on improving your projects.

We need more sources, and need to share with more people. Try to find more ways to get in touch with people.

Try to condense your problem and your solution into neat, simple sentences.

Read the rubrics - we need to focus on producing what the rubrics ask for.

You May Not Change Your Robot. If you want to work on that, work on a new design. Once I approve the design,
and know that the whole team wants it, I will let you change the robot. I have pictures, and if the robots look different
on Thursday, there will be trouble. Think first, change afterwards.

Look at these links to get some design ideas:

We did it - we attended the tournament!

First - we need to unpack my car.

Empty the black rolling tubs, as Club will need them next week.

Put everything where it belongs.

I will call you up team by team to debrief. We need to work our hardest for the next 5 weeks -
that is all we have until the Qualifier!
