Potential Learning Opportunities:
- Coding/Prgramming/Robotics
- scaffolding skills
- can be part of a developed scope and sequence in a K-12 coding program
- Information Communication Technology skills
- Humanities:
- Recording work, such as poetry and then building movements to reinforce concepts such as message, meaning and tone.
- Upload recorded stories to engage students in reading.
- Create class presentations, where the robot presents instead of the person.
- Math/Science:
- reinforce concepts, such as "patterns and relations" and "geometry".
- could incorporate into music lesson for interdisciplinary approach to patterning.
- teach about the elements of a good song, and have students demonstrate the elements through repetitive patterning of movements.
- 3D printing aspect of materials and measurements
- used as a an exemplar for circuitry
- student could design new working servos and wire them
- Fine and Performing Arts:
- Music creation
- Demonstration of drama skills and processes
