Term 5 | Exploring robotics with VEXcode VR
Overview
Students are introduced to virtual robotics, learning to program with VEXcode VR through sequencing, drawing, and iterative design, culminating in a coral reef cleanup challenge.
Part one: Introduction
This session we'll be covering the basics of VEXcode, such as creating a new project, selecting a playground, as well as learning basic commands and sequences.
Let's get that robot moving!
Part two: Sequencing
We're using sequencing to get our robot to complete challenges.
This will include exploring the pen and step tool.
Part three: Drawing shapes
We're using shapes to understand how our robot moves.
We'll be introducing a little maths to help our robot navigate his playground.
Part four: Iteration and selection
Iterations are all about efficiency, they're a way of looping a sequence to repeat an instruction.
Boost efficiency to your project.
Challenge: Coral reef cleanup
Using all the skills you've learnt in the previous sessions, we'll be combining sequencing, selection and iterations to help our robot clean up the coral reef.
