Suggested Sequencing ( 10 + hours of coding and design)
Part
Activity
Time
1. Edison V3 Unplugged – Sequence Coding
Edison V3 Ungplugged – Introduction to Edison
Learn how to code Edison using by sequencing barcodes to get Edision to navigate different mazes.
60 min
2. Edison V3 Unplugged – Loops and Repeats
Students build on lesson one by using barcodes to build a sequence of loops and repeats to get Edison to create art by designing a marker holder or be a security guard
60 min
3. Edison V3 Unplugged – Making Decisions
Edison V3 Unplugged – Making a Decision
Students will use “if > then” statements to get Edison to respond to different commands to bounce in borders, follow a line, avoid obstacles, and to recognize when to stop and start.
60-90 min
4. Edison V3 Unplugged – Sumobots
*ONLY DO IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO USE BLOCK CODING SUMOBOT ACTIVITY*
Students will code Edison using a barcode and then design a sumobot using Lego to compete in a robot rumble against other sumobots.
60-90 min
5. Edison V3 Unplugged – Functions
Students will create a dance sequence and/or an alarm system using function codes.
30-60 min
6. Edison V3 Edscratch Activity 1
Edison V3 Edscratch Block Based Coding Activity – Introduction
Students will learn how to use the EdScratch coding platform to get Edison to navigate different mazes.
60 min
7. Edison V3 Edscratch Activity 2
Edison V3 EdScratch Block Coding – Loops and Repeats
Learn to code loops to make geometric shapes
30-60 min
8. Edison V3 Edscratch Activity 3
Students will code Edison to make decisions and then train it to compete in a robot rumble against classmates. They will also design their Edison sumobot with lego to try to get a competitive advantage.
60-90 min
9. Edison V3 Edscratch Activity 4
Students will use functions in their code to get Edison to make music. They will then program Edison to act like a juke box.
60-90 min
