NXT Tutorial. This tutorial for LEGO Mindstorms NXT is divided in two sections.
The “Essentials” are things every NXT programmer should know. Some of these movies have exercises directly under them. It’s important to do these exercises, not just assume you “get it.” The “Advanced” section is for reference purposes. When you need one of NXT’s advanced functions, check it out. These lessons assume you have a basic robot with two drive motors, a touch sensor and a light sensor.

Art and Engineering Can Co-Exist.
Big Ideas Culture Teaching Strategies Sue Mellon By Barbara Ray At the beginning, people thought she was nuts.
Sue Mellon, gifted support coordinator for Springdale Junior and Senior High/Colfax School in the Allegheny Valley School District, thought 7th and 8thgraders could develop a deeper understanding of poetry by playing around with robotics. “Originally, people looked at me like I was crazy,” Mellon said. Poetry isn’t always easy for students.
“Science, technology, engineering, math, art—that’s all really important. “A lot of kids aren’t crazy about poetry,” Mellon said. Mindstorms nxt lesson plans. Building Instructions. DocumentsDate added A brief guide to tips and tricks for building with the LEGO NXT, including: - Basic LEGO brick stacking - Using pegs to connect beams - Connecting beams using axles and bushings - Constructing sturdy shapes - Attaching a wheel to a motor so that the motor turns - Attaching motors to your NXT.
SP_Robotics_Course_Outline. Course Calendar - Weston MS NXT Class. Mini Challenges. Alien Encounter Mini-Challenge. Free Lego NXT MindStorms NXT-G Robotics Challenges Tutorials. At the request of Tasmanian teachers Miss Clare Neilson and recently retired Mrs.
Juanita Airey, activities using Lego's NXT 1 MindStorms Robots have been developed for use in School-based 2-hour sessions. Some, but not all, will work with the new NXT 2 kit (click here for more information). The tutorials are presented as a series of Challenges, which are gradually being converted for Web use. Challenges with an "M" after the challenge number include mentor notes. Challenge numbers greater than 100 use components that are not in the NXT 1.0 Retail or Educational Lego kits, but are available for separate purchase.
Curriculum and Project Ideas - Robotics Notes. {*style:<b>Curriculum and Resources </b>*} There is a sample curriculum below for a one quarter 6th grade class with objectives and activities below the resources and projects. You will find an overview of the curriculum for Robotics I, II, and III as well. The Robotics II and III curricula have to be more flexible because student who have not had Robotics I or II may enroll in Robotics II and III. {*style:<b>Mindstorms NXTs (The school website is being updated and most of the links here are not working. </b>*}The Mindstorms software comes with the Common and Complete Palette exercises that are excellent for beginning robotics students. The students like to show off their robots . There is also a more advanced Robot Design, Build, Program journal document attached that my students use once they begin designing robots "from scratch" to solve problems and challenges.

Mataric', Rand Voorhies, and Christian Siagian worked with elementary school and middle school teachers from the South Pasadena School District (SPSD) to develop and deliver a 10-week intensive robotics course for 5th-8th graders. The teachers received training in robotics, funding for Lego NXT robot kits, and support to teach the summer courses.
