Aug 11 Final competitions

Hello all,
We are getting ready for our live stream obstacle course but I wanted to share with you a couple sites that I showed the campers today.
If you are interested in getting the Wonder robot, it cost about $150 at Toys R US or directly from Wonder.  You can also participate in an online tournament they do from Christmas to March where the robot goes through different activites and you videotape yourself completing the activities.  It is for ages 9-12.  If you want to do the tournament, let me know and I can register you through my school.  For more info, go to https://education.makewonder.com/robotics-competition

Also, I showed the campers my favorite robot warehouse.  Everything you can think of is located at http://www.robotshop.com/ca/en/.  I like to go to the site and check out their new arrivals every couple months to see what new products are coming out in the world of robots.

Finally, we saw this week Evan code a whole new game, Kaiden, Cole and Gabe build and code a robot that became a perpetual motion machine, Ewan program a search and rescue device, Noah successfully navigate the entire obstacle course, Scott and Isaac build and program a robot that navigated the entire maze and Evan, Logan, Ewan code the Dash robot through the entire maze.  All in all, a fabulous week and once we get all the videos uploaded, be sure and check us out.  Robot challenges

We just completed the tournament and thank you for the 46 people who logged in live and watch us.  Thank you for all the comments and please feel free to share our facebook page and this blog with others.  The Ultimate Obstacle Course

We will be continuing next week with Digital Cinematology next week learning how to do stop motion, green screen and animated movies.  You will likely see us use a lot of our videos from this week to make some Youtube videos.  Our last week is game creation where we use our coding skills and use them for creating video games.
