LI: To learn the basics of how to code an mbot.

As it is currently level 2 of the lock down we carried on like it was like a normal school day and went to tech at Tamaki College. For tech we had a new subject which was robotics and our teacher for today was Miss Ferguson. With robotics we were given a mbot which is a type of coding robot. Mbot can do all sorts of things like move in different shapes and move forwards and backwards. First we learn the basics of how to code an Mbot. The movements that we had to put in out Mbot was to make it move into a square which is not hard. We had to precisely get it to move at a 90* angle then do it again until it reaches its starting point. Then at the end of your coding to make it more interesting we had to make a victory dance when it reaches the end so it can be proud of its self for making it.

For term 4 week 3 of robotics we started to code our Mbots to form a figure-8 and a circle. I found this challenge hard because of the code we were going to use but luckily he gave us some help and feed back. I think everybody did well on doing this challenge and also me, the one thing  good about today was how I got to learn how to make the Mbot turn code into a circle.
