Key Information

Topic: STEAM subjects Grade: Pre-school to 1 Group size: 6-10 students

Robo Wunderkind Introductory Projects are created to be your students’ first step into the world of robotics. Ten story-based projects
will introduce young learners to Robo Wunderkind’s modules through personal experiences in building and controlling robots in Robo Live App.

Complexity:
Each lesson includes the basic level as well as a possible modification — additional activity. It makes possible to adapt the complexity of the lessons
to the personal needs of your students.

Recommended Prior Knowledge:

Students do not need any prior knowledge, as they will learn the basic terminology and the principles of robotics and controlling robots using
Robo Wunderkind robotics kit and Robo Live App.

Materials Required:
• Robo Wunderkind robotics kit(s);
• Tablet(s);
• Some materials to customize robots and create an environment: Lego™ bricks, colored paper, cardboard etc.;
• Supporting materials: Printable Module images and “Robo’s Diary” — student working sheets.

 Project 8: Robo Is a Guard

Activity Stages:5 – 7 min

Lead-in

1 Ask: Who is a guard? What does a guard do? How can robots help people to keep the streets safe?
2 Analyse: tell Robo’s story, identify the problem situation and come up with a theoretical solution.

3 Recall the function of the Main Block, the rules for tablets use; Connect the Main Block to the tablet and recall the Robo Live interface;
4 Learn by doing:
• Discuss which Modules you will need in order to build a Robo-guard and find all of them;
Guided Activity

• Build the Robo-guard together with the students;

10 – 15 min

• Discuss the look of (DC) Motor and Servo-Motor; use the Robo Live App to control them and see how they are similar or different;
• Ask: What can our Robo do now? How can it help Robo? Control a Robo using Robo Live App to turn its head in different directions;
• Discuss: Where the right side and the left side is? Turn your head to the right/left. Now turn Robo’s head to the right/left;
• Place Robo between two toys, use Sound controls, Light control, Servo-control to turn and communicate with one toy and then with another.
Make Robo look back;
• Detach the Servo-Motor and try to attach its rotating part to the Main Block, discuss why the Motor doesn’t work this way.

5 Make an own project: Assemble your own Robo-guard using all the Modules and Connectors we have discussed.

10 – 15 min

• Create an environment (optional) together with your students: use different materials and toys to make a place for a pet;
• Program the Robo-Pet to make different sounds / light signals in an exact order, slowly increase the number of sounds / light signals;
For example: 1 Sound + 2 Lights; 2 Sounds + 2 Lights etc.;
• Program the Robo-Pet to drive forward and back, turn left or right using Motor 1 and Motor 2 controls only / Joystick only / Tilt control;
• Program the Robo-Pet to drive between some obstacles in order to find a food / play with the students;
• Program the Robo-Pet to drive and make signals in an exact order. For example: Make a sound each time after you turn; make a red light when
you drive forward and green when you turn.

Key Vocabulary for Teachers

Robot - a machine that can do the set of tasks automatically or under the control of a computer. Robots are created by people to help with
many different tasks which may sometimes be too complex, too dangerous, or simply too boring to do ourselves.

Robotics – a field in engineering and science where many different skills are used to design, produce and control robots.

Engineering – the process of creating and building technological solutions and products by using math and science. An engineer is a person
who does the engineering. Engineers solve problems with their inventions. There are several branches of engineering.

Computer – a device for working with information. The information can be numbers, words, pictures, movies, or sounds. Computer informa-
tion is also called data. Computers can process huge amounts of data very quickly. They also store and display data. People use
computers every day: at work, at school, and at home. Computers are used in factories to control how things are made and in
offices to keep records, for example.

There is a small computer inside the Robo’s Main Block, which sends and receives the signals from the tablet and processes the
information so that we can control it. This is why the Main Block always has to be in every project in order for all other modules
to work!

Electricity – Electrical Power – a type of energy that can build up in one place or flow from one place to another; it is used to make many dif-
ferent electronic devices work. Robo Wunderkind modules are powered by a battery inside the Main Block. Power is passed from
module to module through the Connectors (Pogo-Pins on them) and Faces on each module.

Wireless communi- Wireless communication / Bluetooth signals – is a special technology for exchanging information between devices over short
cation / distances.
Bluetooth signals –

Remote control - a device or mechanism for controlling from a point at some distance removed; one of the way to control robots.
