Unit: EV3 - Wired for Data

Overview: 
This unit begins with lessons on using using data wires, the EV3-G equivalent of passing parameters, based on a lesson from EV3 Trainer (a.k.a. Introduction to Programming LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3) from Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Academy (Note: these lessons are not available in the free online version of the product). Students are then given Engineering Challenges that require the integration of these new skills. An Robo-Science lesson on vehicle collisions (Newtonian Physics) which uses these new programming skills is also included in this unit.
