Communication ECA Phase 1 Class 1: Car Race 20170911

Hello! It was really great meeting you all last week! Last class we built a model car using a battery pack and a motor. We learnt about connecting gears and used our knowledge of gear ratios on our cars! We found out that when the big gear is attached to the motor it spins the small gear faster giving our cars more speed. Everyone really enjoyed the race we had afterwards to test our models. Next week we will keep working on trying to keep our Lego pieces organized and together as we build our next model. I look forward to seeing you all!

Intro to Lego Mindstorm EV3 and build color reader robot

Welcome to the Lego Mindstorm EV3 robot programming challenge. The first class, we built a two wheel tank drive robot for the future class. We also build a color reader robot that can scan the color, then read out for you forever. Kids are excited about. Everyone tested their robot with rubik’s cube.  The science behind it are loop, switch and color sensor. Next week we will explore the other sensor’s from lego. All students also helped to cleanup the classroom.
