I Can Create Create Instructions for a Robot to Achieve a Desired Outcome

This week we have been working with Tale-Bot Pro robots to learn about coding.  Students program the movement of robots using forward, back, left, right, and repeat.  So far we have been working on creating virtual community walks, trips to the zoo, and have started creating mazes for the robots to navigate.  Some students this week even got a chance to experiment with having the robots draw pictures.  We have been learning about this basic coding as part of our unit on Computer Science.  

The Tale-Bot Pro Robots have been lent to us from the ATA (Alberta Teachers' Association) library.
