The Sphero Chariot Challenge
The first thing that the students had to do was research different types of chariots. Once they did this, they had to use whatever materials that I had spread out on a table to make their chariots. After the chariots were made, the students had to then use a Sphero to drive their chariots through a maze on the floor. There were two mazes, one on the tile floor and one on carpet. The one on the carpet had a simple design, but the students had to deal with the carpet which proved for some to be quite difficult. The one on the floor was easy to move around in, but it was more challenging to program. Students that stuck with it, were able to be successful in each arena. |
Students created these designs using recyclable materials and some Legos. Here are a list of items that they used:
1. Tons of cardboard 2. Straws 3. Cups 4. Popsicle sticks 5. Tons of tape 6. Tones of hot glue 7. Clothes pins 8. Skewers 9. Corks 10. Bottle caps 11. Wooden pegs 12. Gears from old sets 13. Yarn 14. Lysol wipes bottle |
