Stack Up the Fun: A Burger-Building Coding Challenge with Dash! 🍔

We’re celebrating International Burger Day the Wonder Workshop way—with robots, code, and a side of STEM! Looking for a classroom activity that’s equal parts coding and creativity? This “Build a Burger” lesson is the perfect recipe! Using Dash and the Gripper Building Kit, your students will practice sequencing, problem-solving, and block-based coding—all while assembling delicious burger combinations (no actual ketchup required). With task cards, hands-on robotics, and a opportunities for collaboration and creativity, this activity is sure to get your students moving, thinking, and coding with purpose. Let’s get building!

Objective:

Students will code Dash to build different burger combinations by collecting ingredients using the Gripper Building Kit. This hands-on activity promotes sequencing, problem-solving, and basic coding skills.

Materials Needed:

1 Dash Robot per group
Dash Gripper Building Kit (attached to each Dash)
Tablet or device with the Blockly for Dash app
Printed Build a Burger Task Cards(1 set per group)
Small cups or containers (12 cups per group)
Tape
Open floor space or Coding Mat (which you can find here)

Prep Steps (Before Class):

Print a set of task cards for each group and cut them out.
Tape each burger ingredient (e.g., bun, lettuce, patty) onto a small cup.
Attach the Gripper Kit to each Dash robot

Directions:

Spread out the burger ingredient cups, the ‘Start’ paper and ‘Burger Building Zone’ paper in your space.
Draw a task card from the stack. Read the burger ingredients listed.
Using Blockly, code Dash to move around the space, and pick up each ingredient in the correct order, and bring it back to the ‘Burger Building Zone’

Extra challenge: Try stacking each of the ingredient cups in order to build your burger.

We also thought it would be fun to experiment with stacking an actual burger using a toy available to purchase. This option is available on Amazon here. If you try it out, let us know if it works! For Gripper to be able to grasp the pieces, they would need to be positioned vertically. Let us know how it goes!
