Ms. Wike's Class Builds and Programs Robots

Students in Ms. Wike's 3rd grade class recently completed several robotics lessons. First they tried their hand at programming using the game LightBot. This helped build their understanding of using step by step, specific instructions for their robots.  Next, they began building their robots using Lego WeDo kits.  Groups of students selected a project to build and followed Lego's schematics to put it together.  It wasn't always easy! Finally, they programmed their robots to each do a different action. Check out the pictures and videos below. You'll see a hungry alligator, twirling birds, a sleeping giant get raised by a crane and flying airplanes.  Pretty incredible- and they are only 3rd graders! I can't wait to see the things they can accomplish when they set their minds on something!
