Lego Club ~ STEAM Camp
Day 1: SpriteBox Coding App
SpriteBox is a free app, a mix of exploration and learning to code. Students said it reminded them of Super Mario, with the added coding components. Created for the iPhone or iPad, this app is a great way to introduce coding. By giving Sprite programs of instructions to follow, students were able to advance through unique worlds and help free Sprite's bottled-up friends.
Day 2: Mouse Trap Programming
Students worked together to build hands-on coding skills! Partners built a maze, and then used the coding cards to create a step-by-step path for Colby, the Programmable Robot Mouse. Then they programmed the sequence of steps and watched Colby race to find the cheese!
Day 3: Cup Stacking
Students worked in teams to build the tallest structure using only plastic cups. The cups were different sizes and shapes, adding to the strategy in the design process.
