Unit 3: Computational Thinking with Robots
IN THIS LESSON
I can use computational thinking to design, build, program, and improve a robot.
In this lesson, we will be learning about decomposition. Decomposition is breaking a problem into smaller parts. This is important for solving many problems, but we will be focusing on building and programming a robot.
As we build our robots, we will look for patterns and discuss pattern recognition and how it can help us solve problems.
You will build a Lunar Rover using the Moon Base lesson in WeDo 2.0.
-
AKS-2 use digital tools (e.g. computers, tablets, cameras, software, 3D printers, etc.€¦) to build knowledge, produce creative artifacts, and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others
AKS-4 use the Design Process (use, modify, create) with a variety of tools to identify and solve problems by creating new, modified, or imaginative solutions
AKS-5 develop and employ Computational Thinking strategies (break-down, find patterns, and create algorithms) to identify and solve problems
