There are two parts to this challenge- Please watch the video that explains the program you are using. You will need to make some kind of arena to complete this challenge. It can be blue tape, red electrical tape, black sharpie marker, or whatever you have at your house to make an arena.

Part 1- Learn how to use your color sensor. Write a simple program to see if your color sensor is working. The video will explain how.

Part 2- Learn how to use a switch or if/then block, and write a program to stay inside an arena. Take a video of your EV3 robot staying inside an arena. See Mrs. Hook's Arena example video below.

1. Watch the challenge, and the red or black icon video that you are using.
2. Upload a video and screenshot of your program to our shared google drive- under the file- Color Sensor.
3. Remember to "turn in" this assignment, when you have completed this challenge.
Have fun working with this new sensor.

Welcome back Robotic Students,
This week we are going to program our ultrasonic sensor.
1. Watch the video on how to program your ultrasonic sensor. Choose the black icon (ipad), black icon (laptop) or red icon version.
2. Complete the challenge of having your EV3 move forward, detect the cuboid with the ultrasonic sensor, then reverse. You also need to program your EV3 to use a loop. The video doesn't show it, but you can add a stop motors block to stop your program.
3. Take a screenshot of your program and place it into our shared google drive. The link is below. (Robotics 20/21)
4. Make a video of your EV3 completing this challenge. Upload the video to our shared google drive. See link below- (Robotics 20/21).
5. You can see Mrs. Hook's screen shot of her program and her video in the shared google drive, under the Ultrasonic File.
6. "Turn in" the assignment so I know you completed this challenge.

Tech tip- Some students have asked how to rename a video. Please watch the video if you don't know how to rename your video when you add it to our shared google drive.

Questions?- Please attend my office hours to get help. We are going to start moving a lot faster with our challenges, so please ask for help if you need it. I don't want you to get behind. Thank you for working so hard.

Hello Students,
This week you are going to design a maze. You can use tape on the carpet (with your parent's permission), or even use toys as obstacles to set up your maze.
Your maze needs to include-

1. At least three different sound blocks, when programming the EV3 robot to travel through the maze. (Remember that you learned how to use sound blocks when you did your Hello challenge. If you can't remember, please go back to that challenge, to review).

2. At least three turns. You must show Mrs. Hook that you can make a right turn and a left turn. (Remember that you learned how to turn your EV3 robot when you did your Homerun challenge. Please go back to that challenge if you need to review).

3. Your robot also must be able to go backwards. Show two times that your robot goes backwards. (Watch video on how to program your EV3 robot to go backwards, using the Black Icon program).

4. Take a photo of your program, and upload it to the google form. If you are having issues with uploading the program on the google form, you can email Mrs. Hook, or share it in google classroom.


Please watch the video to get an idea of how to program your maze. After you make your maze, please video and add to our shared google robotics folder, under the Maze challenge folder. Then fill out the google form on the EV3 maze Finally, remember to "turn in" this assignment. Your maze video is due on Friday- Dec. 11, 2020.

I can't wait to see your AMAZING mazes.

Let's play 20 questions with sprites. Please print two copies of the sprite array. Then find a partner to play 20 questions.
Player 1 chooses a sprite. Player 2 tries to guess the sprite that Player 1 has chosen, asking only yes or no questions. Can Player 2 guess the sprite in 20 questions? Now trade positions, and Player 2 chooses a sprite, and Player 1 guesses.
Next watch Mrs. Hook's video on how to flowchart.
After you have played the "guess the sprite" game, write down your questions using the flowchart format.
Then take a photo of your flowchart questions, and upload to this assignment.
Enjoy the sprite game.
