Camo Cubs Robotics

The past two sessions, our Camo Cubs enjoyed free building! We have been using our imaginations to build custom ways to move cargo. We are also preparing our community model for exhibition in Feb to share with our families, other teams in our local area, and the judges.

Today we worked more on DISCOVERY. We talk a lot about how the concepts we are exploring connect to engineering! We learned about sensors and how they connect to machines to make them work better. We talked about GPS, smart thermostats, hoverboards, and garage door openers, and how they all use sensors to do their jobs. We added a proximity sensor to our sorting center and experimented with the code!

Our Camo Cubs are so inquisitive, creative, and daring when it comes to trying new ideas!

Today we focused on IMPACT. We apply what we learn to improve the world. We studied safety features to understand why they're important, and we used code to program our robot to flash a certain color light depending on how it sorts cargo. We also did more free-building to prototype ideas for transporting cargo over sea.
