Introduction Activity
Have pairs of students act out the instructions based on the cards laid out in front of them. This activity
will help students understand the sequencing required for KaiBot to undertake his tasks.
Engineering Connection
The engineering team at Kais Education who
created KaiBot had many problems to solve in
creating him. In this activity, students act as if
they are engineers designing programs to solve
problems. Through this lesson, students will build
a basic understanding of robotics by thinking
creatively about how to solve problems and see
how the Kais Education team faced them.
Learning Objectives
After this activity, students will be able to:
Define what a robot is.
Describe the main components of a
robot.
Explain how KaiBot can be programmed
to move.
Explain how troubleshooting and
debugging are an important part of engineering.
Introduction
In this activity students learn how to think like a robot in order to understand how to code and debug
them.
Have one student act as the computer - giving out step-by-step instructions and the other student.
The other student acts as the robot, records the entire sequence in their memory and then walks out of
the sequences.
