Mission Build Day is always so hectic. |
Much improved this year was the project description and suggested activities. The kids and coaches really like direction in terms of what and how to research. Also improved is the new rubric for the year. It had been so confusing last year we didn't much bother with it. This year, I plan to have it on hand for all the activities we do.
Looks like we are able to use the color sensor again this year. Yeah since I've migrated all our software to Mindstorms 2.0 where the old light sensor doesn't seem to work. Also, I think we are allowed more sensors this year. Last year our team didn't use any. I want to strongly encourage the kids to try using them this year.
Oh yes, only 18 hours after the challenge release, I found someone had already uploaded their own YouTube video describing all the challenges. It's very well done. The only glaring mistake was they got East and West mixed up. Otherwise it helped me envision what the missions were.
