Designing a Robotic Device

 

Elementary students at Franklin have been learning about computer science during Library STEM time and Technology Time. This is in conjunction with the Computer Science is Elementary project award from the Governor's STEM Council.





 As an end-of-the-year project, they used what they learned about input and output devices in order to design and build a prototype for a robotic device. Students were creative problem solvers as they designed push button controls, touch screens, microphones and speakers, as well as moving parts of their device. They used Flipgrid to record and share videos to explain their device.
