| Description | Using a few blindfolds and a simple taped floor maze exercise, students come to understand that computers rely completely upon instructions given in programs and thus programs must be comprehensive and thorough. Students create and test basic programs, first using just the LEGO intelligent brick, and then using basic movement commands with the LEGO software on computers. Students are introduced to the basic concepts of computer programs, algorithms and programming. Using a few blindfolds and a simple taped floor maze exercise, students come to understand that computers rely completely upon instructions given in programs and thus programs must be comprehensive and thorough. Then students learn to program using the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® software. They create and test basic programs, first using just the LEGO intelligent brick, and then using basic movement commands with the LEGO software on computers. A detailed PowerPoint® presentation, plus a worksheet and pre/post quizzes are provided. |
