How to build a snake robot with LEGO? Snakes can perform different kinds of locomotion. Lateral undulation is a type of locomotion characterized by a backward propagating flexural wave along the length of the animal's body. Essential for locomotion is that the friction in transversal direction is la...

Students will build and program a LEGO car that uses gears or sensors to travel quickly across a flat surface, but is also able to climb a steep hill. The settings of the cars can only be switched by a quick adjustment and not a new building component. Students can use gears to keep traction between...

Students will build and program a LEGO music box to be controlled by the motion or proximity sensor. Students will program the music box to make a LEGO person dance to music, using the motor and music blocks. In doing so, they will explore the WeDo programming language. They will learn how to progra...
