Edison is a versatile bot that opens up students’ imagination. Grade 5-6 students can make use of Edison’s Lego-compatible pegs and a handful of sensors to solve a variety of problems. Edison can respond to barcodes to perform various predefined tasks or be programmed using a computer using one of a few different languages. We focus on using EdScratch, a block-based programming language that looks and feels like Scratch, but is customized for Edison. The activities for this robot are linked to ELA, Math, Science, and Arts Ed. Curriculum. Teachers will be sent a robot to use with this virtual PD opportunity.
Registration is due April 6
