Een spelletje eieren gooien
In 2016 publiceerde TechAgeKids.com een verzameling van leuke paasactiviteitenzoals het houden van een paasoptocht met Dash en Dot verkleed in paasmutsen. Ze hebben ook een activiteit toegevoegd waarbij kinderen worden uitgedaagd om Dash te programmeren om eieren in een emmer te gooien. Kijk hier!

Have Dash Recycle for Earth Day
Carrie Willis (@carriewillis18) and her elementary students at Valley Preparatory School in Redlands, CA, found a way to celebrate Earth Day with their entire school community — that included Dash!
As part of a school-wide recycling initiative, the students at Valley Prep were able to use prior knowledge about recycling and coding to help Dash make good choices when disposing of waste on campus.
Here’s how you can replicate the activity with your students.
Gather materials:
- One Dash robot
- One gridded mat
- Cups of varying sizes
- 4 trash can labels: Paper & Cardboard, Plastic, Aluminum, Compost
- Various images representing paper, cardboard, plastics, aluminum and compost items
Create a gridded mat or use the Whiteboard Mat produced by Geyer Instructional.
Attach the four trash can labels to the larger cups and placed them upside down in a row at the end of the mat.
Then add a recyclable’s image on each of the smaller cups. Scatter the smaller cups, representing cardboard boxes, plastic containers, banana peels, etc., around the mat.
The challenge is for students to program Dash to collect and sort the recyclables. Students need to first move Dash to one of the smaller cups and position the robot behind the cup. Then to deliver the item to the appropriate recycle bin, Dash has to push the cup in the right direction without moving past the bin.
