I want more details!
From the number of kids in the pictures I assume it was for kids (right?)
What age?
|
something between 9-12
| |
How did those children earn this special treat?
|
easy, they payed for it:)
| |
Did the university employ you as tutor?
|
yeah, but only for the course for now
| |
What did you cover in the course?
|
building technic, sensors, motors and Robolab
| |
What are the robots in the pictures suppose to do?
|
well some of the basics there are from the original instructions
few others unique ideas:
1. holds a plastic knife with a conveyor belt which suppose to move a cucumber
and the knife to cut it (the knife wasn’t strong enough to cut it though).
2. a robot that can draw, uses the thouch sensors as remote.
3. a robot that suppose to bring a a cola can from one to another.
4. a rail for some sort of a train (from the instructions) but the rail was
redesigned to spin left at the end.
5. a robot that shoots rubbers
also some kids made a dreidel (only from gears) with launching base which worked
brillient, don’t have pictures of it though, but I’ll might upload instructions
for it soon.

Where (and how) did you get the LEGO for the course?
How much LEGO did you get?
|
The University paid for it, something like 6 Mindstorms kits, and like 10 RCX
overall, several extra parts
| |
Where did you buy it from? (and how much did you pay...)
|
Don’t know the entire details but it was from US, and I guess it was quite a
lot.
| |
Nice to see you:

thanks

Who is with you in the picture?
Is she also tutoring the course? (Another Israeli AFOL?)
|
Well she did helped me with the kids and everything, she is not an AFOL, and I
think that after this course the last word she wants to hear is LEGO:) (only
kidding), she’s not a LEGO fan, she likes computers and programming so she
helped mainly with Robolab.
| |
Sorry for asking so many questions, feel free to ignore any of them!

not really a problem
I think most of the kids really enjoyed the course. I know I sure did:)
