Scratch-ing the LEGO WeDo I have been Scratch-ing with LEGO WeDo kits, and my high school level students absolutely love it! The LEGO® Education WeDo™ robotics kit is normally ear-marked as an elementary school product, and Scratch was developed by MIT for young children to be able to program, but the combination of the two has tapped the interest of my elementary school daughter, my middle school son, and my Computer Science students at the high school level. Link: Scratch – old and new The LEGO WeDo construction kit runs about US $130.00, and Scratch Software from MIT is free (download Scratch 1.4). LEGO WeDo USB and the ScratchEd Screen If you have a motor raising and lowering, you need to put an interface on the screen to explain what is happening, and if the interface is interactive, we are hitting the core-level of robotics understanding that we originally were going over student’s heads with NXTs because the software-hardware-interaction was not immediate.

Bringing bricks to life with LEGO WeDo and Scratch » Christian Heindel – IT Solutions & Consulting Today, we added a new component to our experiments with 7+ LEGO Education WeDo (product website) 9580 LEGO® Education WeDo Construction Set 150+ elements including a motor, motion and tilt sensors, and the LEGO USB Hub9585 LEGO® Education WeDo Resource Set extra building blocks for more models like Ferris Wheel, Crane, Car or House, additional elements such as wheels, rotors and a door The distance sensor can sense objects within a range of about 20 cm in steps from 0-100. The tilt sensor can have five different states and the motor can be turned on/off, run with different speeds from 0-100, change direction and be on for (x) seconds. This is what LEGO says are the key learning values: Designing and makingBrainstorm to find creative alternative solutionsLearn to communicate, share ideas and work together I can second that. From running Scratch on the computer, we already had a screen, speakers, mouse, keyboard and microphone. Here are some of the models we’ve built today: Helicopter Kicker
Presentation Thymio is a small robot which will allow you to discover the universe of robotics and learn a robot's language. You will be able to program it and carry out numerous experiments. With Thymio, the basics of robotics and programming become notions everyone can discover, whatever their age. Alone, with your friends or parents, program your robot so it becomes the hero of your adventures. You can learn programming with Thymio through a selection of several languages and environments. The basic behaviours of the robot and the different programming environments allow children aged 6 and more to discover the fantastic world of robotics. These programming capabilities have been carefully designed by scientists, and innovative features, such as showing in real time which part of the program is being executed, have been demonstrated to improve learning. Visual Programming Language (VPL) Discover programming in the easiest way thanks to the Visual Programming Language for Thymio (VPL). Age: 6+ Blockly

We Do WeDo Scratch version 1.4 has special programming blocks to interact with motors and sensors in LEGO WeDo robotic creations. As a part of a course that Mitch Resnick is teaching this term at MIT Media Lab (and I'm TAing), we asked the participants to create a story that combines on-screen and off-screen, using LEGO WeDo and Scratch. To get them started, Mitch did a brief demo of the WeDo and Scratch, showing some of the key blocks and a sample project about a friendly (but misunderstood) alligator. We created a miniguide (which is available on ScratchEd ) and linked to a series of WeDo building instructions. The participants worked in teams of 2 or 3, and they ended up producing a wide variety of imaginative projects.
