Phase IV is the most advanced level of Play2Learn Education Lego Challenge Program. In the next 8 weeks, different robotics programming classes using different sensors including color sensors, ultrasonic sensors, gyroscope sensors, and touch sensors will be covered.
The first class was the introduction to hardware and the software of the Lego EV3 kit. The hardware talked in the first introductory class including the central controller, i.e. the brick, the big and medium motors, color sensors, ultrasonic sensors, gyroscope sensors, and touch sensors. The basic functionality of these parts was detailed during the class. The software, which is the programming interface on the computer used to control and communicate with all the above hardware parts was also introduced.
After went through the basic of the hardware and the software, we guided students to rename the names of their bricks, and then to connect bricks to their laptop through Bluetooth. The student achieved a significant step after the first class. In the second class, we are going to introduce and practice the basic programming skills.
