Fifth grade is concluding their final PLTW module by using the engineering design process to complete a variety of challenges. Students have been figuring out how to program their autonomous robots to collect blocks on a playing field. Using their robot chassis, students had to design a model and use only programming blocks to move their robot autonomously to collect at least two blocks in under two minutes. They were very excited to use all they have learned in PLTW to complete this task and I am so proud of all their hard work and perseverance!
AuthorThis is my tenth year teaching and my second with Ann Arbor Public Schools. I spent the first eight years of my teaching career as a K-8 technology teacher. I joined AAPS last year as a Media Specialist and I am thrilled to be a part of PLTW this year! In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym, baking and spending time with family and friends! Archives
