Edison Robots and the Spiraling Spider Trap Part 2
Building on the programming concepts explored in part 1, this lesson asks students
to re-imagine the ‘spiral-out’ program to be a spiral-in program instead. Designed to
be a stepping-stone activity to help students explore using variables and
computations in self-created programs, this activity challenges students to think
through the logic of the ‘spiral-out’ program in order to modify and reapply its main
components.
The extra ‘bonus challenge’ attached to this activity offers students an opportunity to
mix computer programming and physical engineering to turn their robots into spiraling spiders.
This is the 4th lesson in a series of 4. Links to lessons and resources are included.
