Recycled Robots
Once our students understood that technology is anything that is created to help people or solve a problem, they were quick to make the connection that everything in our Collaboratory Makerspace and Recycling Center was technology! In order to continue to fuel the excitement, I challenged the students to work together to use the technologies in our learning studio to design and create a Recycled Robot. Younger student groups worked on their own mini robots, using egg cartons as their base item. Older students created an extreme robot in which each group was responsible for creating one piece of the robot, and the groups had to collaborate in the end to put all of the pieces together to finalize their masterpiece. Their energy and enthusiasm for building was contagious! Take a peek:
Stay tuned to see the finished products on display at Back to School Night this week!
