Lego Robotics EV3 Introduction - Australia

by Fizzics Education (Australia)

This class is ideal for those schools which have the hardware but have not yet commenced using the equipment or are in the early stages of lessons. Your students are asked to complete a variety of tasks whilst the programming environment of the Lego EV3 software. Students intuitively use the simple 'drag and drop' icons to form their code and guide their Lego robot through a variety of challenges. Specific tasks include (but not limited to):

- Use motors to accelerate, brake and reverse

- Vary motor power to perform a point and curve turn

- Use loop based programming to drive the robot in a square

- Clear a table of light obstacles using a basic programming sequence.

- program the robot to stop on the sound of a loud hand clap.

- Use a light sensor to detect light levels in the room.

- Use logic-based programming to make the robot follow a black line.

This engaging workshop offers students a chance to learn real-time programming in a fun atmosphere. The class is open-ended, should you need to address specific programming challenges we can work through these during the conference.

Program Details

Format

Time is allowed throughout the workshop to ask and answer questions. We treat video conferences in the same format as traditional science incursions.

1. Program begins with a general introduction and discussion on timezone and weather differences between Australia and your school
2. We introduce the students to the EV3 software
3. Your class runs your own EV3 robot and software as our presenter works with you through challenges within the 'common palette'. Additional challenges are given throughout the session, depending on student ability. We will have our own Ev3 robot and software running for problem solving and guidance.
4. Time is allowed for further questions and discussion of cultural differences.

Objectives

The students will understand:

- the basic programming environment of the EV3 software.
- how to use light, sound and ultrasonic sensors
- how to use loops and switches
- how to operate the functions of the EV3 robot
