Students will build and program a LEGO car to travel across a table. In doing so, they will explore the WeDo programming language. They will learn how to program with motor speeds, wait statements and loops.

Students will build and program a LEGO car that uses gears to travel as slowly as possible. The students will compete in a “snail race” to see whose car is the slowest. The last to cross the finish line will be crowned the winner.

Students will build and program a LEGO car that uses gears to travel up a steep incline. Students will explore the use of gears to give their car more power as well as car design to increase the amount of friction between the wheels and the incline.

Students will build and program a LEGO fan to be controlled by the tilt sensor. Students will program the fan to have 3 settings: off, low and high. In doing so, they will explore the WeDo programming language. They will learn how to program with motor speeds, wait statements and loops.

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...

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...
