Teamwork by Nava

One group is making a dog obstacle course for their Sphero. Some things that they learned were that duck tape and cardboard don't always work. Also, you have to work together for everything to work well. Another group is making a restaurant out of Legos. Some things they learned were how to code and building with legos. They also learned how to use design skills so when their restaurant fell apart they can put it back together. One group is making a racing game for Sphero. Some things they've learned is don't fool around or you have to do it last minute. They are making great progress!

Tech Talk Tuesday: What are you working on?

Storytelling with Sphero!

A Birthday Party for Dash! 

Piper! We made a computer!

Lego Robotics Wild Ride! 

Dash's Playground 

Prototyping the next Electric Car! 

Class with Dot and Dash by Jette, Ileana, and Nava

Cool Ideas in Technology by Spencer

We have a lot of cool ideas we are doing in technology class and what we are programming. Let me tell you about a couple of them. Two kids are trying to make a Cybertruck with a technology tool called littleBits. A Cybertruck is a Tesla-like car prototype. A LittleBit is a circuit that can move. Another tool is Sphero. You can make cool obstacles for the Sphero robot to go through. Also, two students are making a movie studio and ticket booth and other cool stuff. They are making this out of Lego robotics. Another group is using robots that are called Dash and Dot. They program a robot to do what they want them to do and they will do it. Dot is a circular robot that can light different colors and can make noises. As you can see our ideas are really cool!

Lucky the Robotic Dog

Storytelling and technology merged together.

Technology Life by Ross and edited by Emme and Judd

Today we are finishing up our projects. The project I'm doing is really fun. Some other people are doing dash and dot which is a robot. There are many other things we are doing. Technology is so fun!

Kicking it with Lego Robotics!

Meet our Little Bits Bot!

Having Fun with Robots by Lauren

My group is using Dot and Dash. We love adding new effects to the program. I think we have gotten to be more friendly to each other. Our program includes lots of lasers, hello, color-changing effects. We get better every time we got together to work with the robot.

Fun robots by Liam

We are working on building and programming robots in technology. I am making a lego robot, it is really fun but it is also hard. Making the robot is easy but programming is hard. Other groups are using Spero, Makeblock and lots more.

Robot Building in Tech Class by Luana

We are making robots with different materials like Sphero, Dash and Dot, and lots more! We can use whatever we need to program or make something for our robot to use. It's up to our group to make something that will make the robot be awesome!

Our Robotics Projects Rock!

Check out the fun we had while learning drag and drop programming and designing creative activities:
Light It Up with littleBits by Ashtyn, Jordan and Sierra
Dental Patient with Hummingbird Robotics Kit by Dillon, Emily and Falyn
Dot and Dash in Their Home by Blake, Davis, and Cameron
Noah's Ark with Lego Robotics by Marisa, Jacob, and Dylan
Soccer Game with Referee with Scratch and Makey Makey by Hailey, Jeremy and Layla
Combo Course for Sphero with Aidan, Jared, and Sam

Juke Ball with Sphero by Jared

My group and I are working with Sphero. Sphero is a ball that you can program to move, light up, say something and more. My group has settled on an idea. The idea for our project is to have football players that Sphero has to juke out. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Dazzled by These Presentations!

This is our first round of tech exploratory projects and they are impressive! We put a lot of thought into our presentation skills, in addition to our actual projects. We loved learning and growing together. Check out what we have made (so far):

Movable Gymnast with littleBits Rube Goldberg Machine Style

Sphero as a Pig Going Home

Soccer Kicker with Hummingbird Robotics

Pacman made with Scratch and Makey Makey

A Ticket Booth and Ferris Wheel with Lego Robotics

Dot and Dash with Blockly
