In coding class today, the kids continued to build the massive Spinner Factory robot. But today I introduced them to a simple Kanban board to keep track of what was built. The instructions include 465 steps.
Ella has competed in a rollerskating competition over the weekend, 06/18/2016.
這次實驗課，我們做了很多乾冰的實驗，好好玩喔!
在洗手台裡放乾冰，好像恐怖片裡的場景喔!
Over the weekend Mr. John saw a video from a young woman who studies robotics. Her advice on how to learn robotics was to tear things apart and then put them back together.
In coding class we finished the code for the ellaphants we built. The kids made a program that would use the robot keypad buttons to control what it did. Up button to make the elephant walk forward. Down button for backward. Left button for head tilt and trunk trumpeting. And right button for picking up an object.
20160524 Science Class: Introduction to Apple/Carrot Peeling Machine Design Science with DIY Science Projects
Kids looked at how an automatic peeler works. They tried to make a model of a peeling machine. Most kids found that the motors they have used are not strong enough to support spinning the apply or the carrot. But there was a cute video of Nile's working!
For these two weeks, kids worked on an elephant robot. It is supposed to walk without wheels.
After the science class, Owen took hom the magnifying glass and started making it into a pair of VRglass. I used it to watch a 360 VR clip and had a great time with it!
