Children worked with a buddy or in small group to design and create their roads. These roads took many hours and alot of effort from students.
What a variety of roads we had! Some children used rulers, some pieces of card to make sure their roads were ride enough for the Beebots to drive down. We had a variety of places the Beebots could visit. This ranged from Tauroa (QE 2), a Bank, Police station and Toy shop.
While the students were busy making their roads I thought we could even take this activity even further. What about some tasks cards. Tasks that students had to do on each road. For example, programme your Beebot to go to the bank and get $100 000 dollars.
Then the activity got extended even further. I was lucky enough to work with a group of students who started to design trailers for Beebots. They made prototypes of trailers and then they used Tinkercad to help design their trailers. There were a lot of problems, like the 3D printer warping. Next year when we get a new 3D printer we hope to print better quality trailers.
