Heretaunga Ararau and robotics

This term our junior children have been really busy exploring the robots. Everybody that starts school and joins the group is enthusiastic and keen to play. By letting the children explore and share the robots they have learned many of the basics and show confidence at making them go.
My job as the teacher is to move them on to being more deliberate and accurate.
Recently we worked with grids that the robots move on. The children's job was to programme a path so the robot would get to a specific destination.
Ultimately, this will lead to work with coordinates in future years.
At the moment, we are just trying to get our car robots to different parts of the fairground!
