Shaver EV3 - Parallel Beams and My Blocks

Submitted by Darren Shaver on 2 August, 2019 - 11:00
Overview: 
The goal of this lesson is to learn what a parallel beams are and how to use them. Students will learn about when parallel beams might be useful for running two or more blocks at the same time. Students will also learn how to create a parallel beam in the EV3 software.
Objectives: 

Students will be able to:

  1. Explain the purpose of Parallel Beams
  2. Describe situations where Parallel Beams would be useful
  3. Identify the pitfalls of using Parallel Beams
  4. Create an EV3-G program using Parallel Beams
