Engineering & Robotics Project: Name: #: Date: Science Tab

This document outlines an engineering and robotics project for students to complete using a Lego Mindstorms kit. The essential question is how robots can help understand engineering design. Students will follow video tutorials to learn programming, touch, motion, and driving skills. They will then use the engineering design process to create a robot that meets the definition of a robot by having input, a program, behaviors, outputs, and a body. Individuals will complete a design journal and groups will demonstrate their completed robot. The project is due on May 20th with checkpoints along the way.
