Day 5 Robotics at Te Atatu Intermediate

Friday 22th March

The final robotics session for the Term One. We have packed a lot in the space of 5 weeks. From building MakerBots from scratch to playing robot soccer. We have completed a mBot coding challenge. Learning about sequences, loops, conditionals, and branch logic. We used light sensors, temperature sensors, and distance sensors as inputs. Jack coded a Microbit and linked it to a variety of inputs. Tyler, Jack, and Ollie made projects using litteBits electronic modules, motors, and switches.
