At our second club meeting we tried our our first challenge using the Wonder App, called Hello World. Using cues and states from the Wonder App we programmed our Dash robots to say, "Hello world!" after we spoke to it. We also programmed him to say, "Hello world!" after he turned around and we spoke. Watching videos about cues, states and deleting cues and states before this club meeting was helpful. Thankfully Wonder Workshop has a number of videos available via youtube to help explain these program features. We took a close look at what the cue symbols looked like on the Wonder App so we could easily identify which cues we needed for this particular challenge and future challenges to come.
A president and vice presidents have been created to help with our Robotics Club at Hornung Elementary. Mrs. G and Mrs. Allen are not experts when it comes to robotic programming and coding. We needed a couple of students who are advanced in this area to help us out! We nominated a few boys for this position and they experienced teaching the other club members how the cues and states work together in order to make Dash and Dot perform tasks that we wish. I was extremely proud of these boys for sharing their knowledge and expertise. The kids learned a lot and I think the club coaches learned even more!
