Year 2 Robot Incursion

In the morning we went to the mini modular to learn about robots.
Firstly we learnt how to use the Edison robots.
Next we got the code. The robots are very cool because they can read lines and read the directions.
As time passed, we got to have flashlights and I don't know how but the robot was following the light! I was very surprised. By Hazel 2LB

In the morning 2LB went in the mini mod for an incursion to learn about robots. 
Firstly Eliot taught us about robots. Eliot is a boy that is in university.
Next, we got to try the robots. We scanned the code and then we got a board that the robot went on. My robots name was Edible. 
Lastly, we could do what ever we wanted to. I was moving my robot all over the place. 
I really enjoyed my time with Eliot. Harsimran 2LB

Today we(2WS) had a robotics incursion with Mr Elliot.
First of all, this morning we went to the music room (Mr Elliot’s Lab) to have the incursion with Mr Elliot a Neuroscientist! 
Mr Elliot first taught us about his expectations and about the robots.
After that, we played with robots (tried programming the robots) by bouncing off borders and tracking all the lines.
Following that we raced the Edison robots and listened to Mr Elliot teach us about the other codes for the robots. Kefa 2WS

Today, on Monday, we learnt about robotics at school.  We were learning this because it was our learning intention, and the teacher's name was Mr Elliot.
To start our session, we listened to the teacher and one of the instructions was to press the triangle button to get your robot to move (Go). 
After that, we got a robot, a code and a mat.  I did line tracking first, which is when the robot follows the line with its sensors. It was kind of funny when the robots bumped into each other.
To finish the session, we packed up our mat, code and the robots and lined up in one line.  Then we went back to class. Teghvir 2WS

On Monday, the year twos went to the tiny mod to learn about robotics. To start our day, we looked at a Bee Bot and an Edison Robot.  The Edison robot was smarter than the Bee Bot. After that, we started to see why the Edison robot was smarter than the Bee Bot and watched the scientist, Mr Elliot, programming the Edison robot. Following that, we used the Edison robots.  Robots must have a sensor and a brain.  We scanned the code.  The square button meant stop, the triangle button means go, and the circle button means read. Finally, we played with the robots and went back to class. 
I felt really happy, and my hands were tired from pushing the buttons. Mahanya 2WS
