Jogar um jogo de atirar ovos

Em 2016, o TechAgeKids.com publicou uma coleção de actividades divertidas relacionadas com a Páscoaincluindo a organização de um desfile de Páscoa com o Dash e a Dot vestidos com gorros de Páscoa. Incluíram também uma atividade que desafia as crianças a programar o Dash para atirar ovos para um balde. Veja só!

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.

Mrs. Willis found a recycling activity sticker kit from the Dollar Tree but these images could be replicated using colored paper and clip art or student drawings.
