The students were excited to get the opportunity to work with and learn more about the Ozobots. Today they worked on making different color codes to change the speed of the Ozobot. Here is what the Ozobots look like and the different codes they were able to color in to see the change in speed.
The students worked hard on making sure their codes worked and wanted to show how excited they were to see the changes in speeds.
After they made their codes, they got to test them out and see how the Ozobot did on their own "track".

The snow may be falling outside but there was plenty of fun and exploring happening in the Spark Lab today. The students got to explore the Ozobot's and calibrate them to work on a track that they drew. Some tracks worked better and so they were able to change and add to the tracks that they made. It will be interesting to see what happens next with the learning about Ozobot's.
Yesterday in the Spark Lab the students worked on a plant algorithm. They learned that the algorithm that they use to make codes on the iPads can also be used to demonstrate how to do something. The students started working today on building a car that had a wheel and axel. They are in the beginning stages and are going to continue to work on making sure that it can actually roll down a hill. Check back later this week to see how they are changing as they modify to make it work better.
The students worked with their new table partners to create a tower that could hold a small turtle. They worked hard together and tried different ideas.
The students were able to learn about what it is like to be an engineer. They learned about the first three of six steps to being an engineer. Working with the people at their table, they created a design for how they are going to try and get their marble into the bucket by making a rollercoaster for it. Check back later in the week for how they turned out.
