Day 4 Robotics at Te Atatu Intermediate

Friday 8th March

This week the plan was to use the Makeblock Inventor Electronic Kit we touch on this last week adding functionality to our mBots. However, because this kit proved a little temperamental I decided to introduce the littleBits STEAM kit and the BBC Microbit instead. Tyler and Ollie worked on the littleBits while Jack worked on the Microbit projects.
Tyler and Ollie started with exploring the functions of the individual electronic parts by building mini projects. Jack created a number of interesting projects using a fan, a push button switch and combined with block coding on the PC. 



The littleBits series circuit with a variable resistor, buzzer, LED's and sensor. 



Jack coding the Microbit. Connected with a push-button switch and a fan.

Jack experimenting with sound. 
Thanks, Ollie for the use of your headphones.   


Trialing the invention!!!
