Today, one of the grade eights made this great robot out of Lego that I wanted to share. It walks backwards and forwards using gears and a battery pack. Very cool! He could even make it dance. Mr. Roboto here was made just for fun after one student completed the given task.
It was amazing to see what the students came up with given an open ended task during the systems in action unit in science. Students were asked to use Lego to create a carnival ride using gears and pulleys. Hands on learning is a really powerful experience for both students and teachers. The students were engaged and learning through problem solving. It was amazing to see what students could come up with. Each was unique and different in their own way. I will share more pictures of the final products if I can get a hold of them. Inspiring!
All Hands in.
