  1. NXT programming and Smart Moves • Ideal: • Every pair of students has a computer and kit • You will have a (working) Smartboard to teach Mindstorms • Reality: • Not so much – You do the best you can with what you have and flexibility is key • Have you kids gather around your laptop • Have the kids play with the software!!! • In a guided format of course!!!

  2. Playing with a bot within the NXT platform • The first few meetings: • Group games • Building with the Constructopedia • Basic programming exercises like…

  3. Basic programming exercises D Follow the line A to B to C to D and then back home to A *Great Math Extension: C = D * π or C = 2 r π or…… The rotational sensor can measure distance via rotations **This will help your students increase their efficiency. B C A Example clip

  4. An ordering game using Mindstorm icons or not

  5. Help, I don’t know anything!!! • Take a kit home and build the task bot • Play with the software, yes play with it!! • For your kids to understand Mindstorms, you need to have a proficient understanding yourself! • Which palette is right for you? Common, custom, or

  6. The Game • Extremely precise movements • You need to incorporate your Ultrasonic and Light sensors to help guide the robot Example clip

  7. Great software to check out • Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Academy • http://www.education.rec.ri.cmu.edu/ • Most of the knowledge I have gained about Mindstorms came mostly from playing and using the CMU Robotics Engineering software

  8. Thanks!!!
