Build a Robot

Let's Make a Robot!!

In this challenge we ask that you use the Engineering Design Process steps that are in the diagram above. You will be creating a robot to help with learning at home! If someone at home can take a photo of your work you can email it to Mrs. Gaulrapp at gaulrappw@westbrookschools.org or to Mrs. Colgan at colganc@westbrookschools.org we would LOVE to see what you have been planning or creating!

1. ASK 

Students are learning from home instead of in our classrooms. How can a robot help to make learning at home more FUN for students or to HELP families with distance learning?

2. IMAGINE

Brainstorm ideas of what you will want your robot to look like.  The more you put into this step the easier it will be when it comes time to build your robot. Some questions that might help guide your thinking: 

      

3. PLAN

Using the best idea that you came up with in the IMAGINE step, sketch a blueprint or plan of a unique robot.  

                                  

4. CREATE

Put your robot plan into action! Build your robot, remember when things don't go as expected "the only true failure can come if you quit"! Just keep trying!

5. IMPROVE

Are there things that didn't work with your original plan? Did you come up with a new idea that helped make your robot better? If you answered yes, start the steps over at number one to help guide your improvements ASK, IMAGINE, PLAN, CREATE, IMPROVE! Until you have it the way you want it, don't give up! Have fun!
