Learn how to work with tasks

Your first task is coming up! Let’s see how tasks work and how to complete them.

Structure of the course

In this course, you will work with videos and tasks.

Videos are marked with the icon. They will show you how to use your robots and guide you step by step.

After every few videos, you will complete a task to practice what you have learned. The best way to learn is by building, testing, and trying your own ideas.

Tasks are marked with the labyrinth icon and include clear steps to follow.
These steps break the problem into smaller parts that are easier to solve. Follow them carefully.

When you start a task in class, click the "Started" button below it.

When you finish all the steps, click the "Completed" button to mark the task as done.
If you have difficulty with any step, ask your teacher for help. You can also write your question in the comments section.

Attachments

You can upload an image to show that you have completed a task. Some tasks require an image, while for others it is optional.

Courses and lessons with this Tutorial

This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons

Level A1. Introduction. Robotics with LEGO

Introduction to robotics - The first level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in second, third or fourth grades. A journey in space, with robots. Various constructions with robots are built. Learn how to control the motors so that the robot navigates around the Sun, the Moon and Earth in various ways. Getting to know the first of the sensors. The robot can feel its surroundings with the help of the Touch sensor and avoid obstacles.

Understanding the learning process

Students have a limited attention span. Try to engage them in various activities so that you can keep their attention focused during the two-hour class.

Instructors Remote Training

If you are working with students and you want to introduce Robotics to your class or you want to mentor a FLL team, but you are insecure about your technical knowledge in the Robotics field, then this is the right place for you. Having in mind teachers' busy schedule, we have design two different schedules and added an option to design one just for you. FLLCasts's Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Online Training is the perfect match for any teacher.

After the completion of each task the participant has to upload his solution for verification.

Preliminary Tasks

Welcome to the first week of the Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Training and Certification Course. Before we can proceed with the main part of the course, you will need to start with some preliminary tasks.

The first thing that we need to know about you is your profile and your background. In order to streamline the process, we have assembled a list with questions for you to fill, which you can find out below.

Second, you will need to setup yourself a Google profile, as we will be using Google Hangout as a meeting environment. Take your time and try out before the start of the first meeting that you have installed the necessary plug-ins to run Google Hangout in your browser, as well as that your microphone and camera work properly.

Finally, you will have to build a robot with which you will work during the first learning session and have to take a look at our Methodology of teaching in robotics classes.

That is all for now. If you need any assistance you can drop us a line in the chat in the bottom right corner or contact us.

Robotics with LEGO - Level 1.0 - Adventure in Space

The first level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in fifth to twelfth grades.

Various constructions with robots are built. Learn how to control the motors so that the robot navigates around the Moon and Earth in various ways. Getting to know the first two sensors. The robot can feel its surroundings with the help of the Touch sensor and avoid obstacles.
The Ultrasonic distance sensor can help the robot avoid obstacles. Students work with concepts like loop, degrees and medium motor. Robots can now do two different actions at the same time - while solving missions on a field, the third motor clears detected obstacles.

Python with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 - Level 1

The course introduces students to the programming language Python. We use LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robots. Python is a popular programming language. It could be used for introducing students to programming, for academic studies, for developing machine learning algorithms and as a general-purpose language.

During the course, students learn how to read and how to develop Python programs. They use an Integrated Development Environment called Visual Studio Code. Robots are programmed to perform interesting and funny tasks like "bringing you water". The level ends with competition on a playing field with boxes.

Introducing FLLCasts and the robotics kits

Level A1 - Space Adventure - Robotics with LEGO SPIKE Prime

This is the first level of the LEGO Robotics Curriculum for second-, third-, and fourth-grade students.

A "space adventure" but with robots. Different robot structures are built in Level A1. The motors are controlled so that the robots perform precise movements around the "Earth", "Moon" and "Sun". We use the force sensor to overcome various obstacles we bump into. We learn interesting facts about the solar system and space vehicles.

Lesson 1 - Earth

[In Development] The fun level - Game-oriented introduction to LEGO robotics

A level, designed for introduction in LEGO-robotics, focused mostly on games. We use goal-oriented challenges to make the students want to accomplish a certain task, learning a lot in the process. Some of the games we have included here are football, bowling, paper-plane competition and many more. It is suitable for studens 8 to 12 years old, but even older students will have a lot of fun with the activities.

This is a brand new course that we are experimenting with in a groups in June 2019. Keep in mind that it is possible to use it for summer camps and groups, but there are a few lessons that will be improved on the fly.
