Lesson 3: Designing a robot

Learners needing support:

• Could use the Resource: Robot word bank (support) to help them during the Main event.
• Could label only the names of the input and output devices and explain their purpose orally instead of writing them down.

Learners working at a stretch:

• Could add more input and output devices to make a more complex robot and say how each one helps it do its job. For example, the robot could have a camera and a sensor (inputs) to sense objects, and lights, arms and a speaker (outputs) to pick things up, make sounds or talk when it has finished its job.
• Could mix features from the two most popular robots to design a new robot that can do both jobs.
