On Wednesday we have another session at the Mindlab and this time we were led by Josh. It was another fabulous session. When we walked into the room there were kits for every person sitting on the desks. Creating the robots was a lesson in following instructions and they took about 40 mins to build. It helped if you liked playing with lego although the pieces were more pliable than lego.
After we had created our robots we plugged them into the computer and programmed in much the same way as we did last time. We added sensors that responded to light and dark and programmed using the senses as well.
Thanks Josh and Mindlab, it was another great session.
This is a place where children involved in GATE at St Albans can share their thinking, ideas, process and work. It is also the place for parents and caregivers to find information about Gifted and Talented Education at St Albans.
