Learning Targets:

ISTE standards: 4c, 6d, 7c

1. We will develop, test, and refine our own robotics challenges.

2. We will work constructively and responsibly with group members to work toward our common goal.

3. We will publish our robotics challenges on Book Creator to deliver STEM challenges for students around the world.

Introduction:

Hello Students!
Your team must create a challenge for other students to try with their robots they build in their own classes! The challenge could involve fastest time, navigating a course, picking up and moving objects or something totally wild, but you need a story, materials, setup and rules. Follow Mr. Hubbard's example and use your group's pages to create your very own!
