4th Grade
Day 22-23 - Design a Robot
1. Vocabulary:
1. artificial intelligence - a program for a machine that has the ability to learn, allows a computer to think- learning a new skill and adding it to their 'program
2. artificial - made or produced by people, not real
3. intelligence - The ability to learn
4. program - a sequence of instructions that a computer can interpret and execute. An organized list of instructions that, when executed, causes the computer to behave in a predetermined manner (ex: Voicethread, Microsoft Office, Keynote)

2. Lesson:
Look at page 3 in your journal about the parts of a robot
Robots are designed to perform tasks. You will need to build a robot based on a specific task.

3. Activity:
Work with their research partner and, using the scenario cards and materials provided, create a robot to complete the task.
Record your drawing/process/writings on page 10 in your student journals. After BRAINSTORMING and drawing your robot design, BUILD your robots using legos |

4. Wrap-Up:
Get with the group that has the same scenario as yours and, using your journals, compare/contrast your designs and proposed solutions. Go to Bits and Bricks to do Lego Coding with a Robot. https://www.lego.com/en-us/campaigns/bits-and-bricks/v2
