Violet Band: Robotics Update

The Violet Band has been deep in their robotics courses. We're studying how robots are ways to think and learn more about humans and human brains.We started by understanding the difference between fearful and aggressive motions - or when sensors are programmed to move away from light or to move toward light. Having slight differences in the programming changes the way a baby bot moves dramatically.

We advanced to learning about how our brain connects with nerves and sensors in our own bodies, and how to use that information to create signals and responses in robots.On Thursday last week, they started creating their own baby bots.

Some of the kids are choosing to do robotics projects for their choice projects! Stay tuned...
