BSchormann 2012-13, Ingraham High School, HCT2415 Group Challenge: The Robo-Zoo

Submitted by Brett Schormann on 8 February, 2013 - 20:00
Overview: 
The goal of this lesson is to provide students with a Group Challenge, the Robo-Zoo, that will require coordinated effort across the entire class to achieve success. Students will design the Zoo layout/exhibit-types, select animals for each team to research, then design, build and program their animatronic creations using the Engineering Process.
Objectives: 

The students will be able to: 1. Coordinate the design of Zoo exhibits with classmates 2. Research the physical characteristics and behavior of a selected animal 3. Design a robot that will mimic the physical characteristics of a selected animal 4. Write an NXT-G program that will mimic the behavior of a selected animal
