[Yr7-10it] robots

[McDonald, Debra A1]

would love to get a copy of your unit.. I have always wondered what to do with the Lego stuff and the people in science (as they control it) never had time to create units..
 
cheers
Deb 
 (oh if I can get a copy can you send it to my email so it does not choke up the system.. mcdonald.debra.a1 at edumail.vic.gov.au)

At Strathmore Secondary College we developed a Math, Science and Technology unit using Lego NXT stuff. In 2006 I received funding through Innovations and Excellence to purchase some kits. Kids really enjoyed it. The NXT programming is very intuitive and kids largely teach themselves. At present we are working with VSSEC and the autonomous systems dept from the University of Sydney to further develop the units. I can send you some material, still in draft form, if you wish.

 

 

Regards,

 

 

Marcel

Has anyone gone down this path; 

in general? 

Or for maths in particular?
