Day 2 – RTI Class
We’re back on the case! We will be programming several bots to perform different
tasks and functions today. The kids will learn a lot about programming through
trial and error, and they will also have to adjust their programs to fit the capabilities of
their
hardware. Design and engineering in action!
It’s a privilege to be here again for the RTI training. I’m here as the “trainer to be trained”,
so
I’m helping the kids, and learning a lot from them at the same time.
Our robotics kids have the advantage of seeing their bots work, and being able to
make
any needed adjustments or changes on the spot.
As scientists and
engineers, we often do our best learning by making mistakes, and by trial and
error.
It’s important that we work out those problems in the design lab, so that
our bots can do the job
they’re
required to do in the “real world”.
Communications and teamwork
are the keys to any successful collaboration.
Next stop:� Mars!
