Session #4 - Sep 17, 2022
Challenge Assessment, Code Presentations

Today we covered a lot of ground:

1. Code Presentation 

We had the kids present their homework assignments from last week. Brandon, Daniel, Larry, and Leon each had to develop code to make their robot follow a square. Each had to present their code in front of the team and answer questions

.

2. FLL Values

We talked about the 6 FLL values and quizzed the kids on what their thoughts were. Larry prepared and presented a presentation about Innovation. Starting this week, we keep a team score card that tracks who demonstrated which core value during the session. Today's core values went to 

• Brandon - Teamwork: For being a great teammate for everybody today

• Daniel - Discovery: Working on considering how carpet versus hardwood impacts friction which impacts the robot movement

• Larry - Innovation: For the excellent innovation presentation

• Leon - Fun: For the fun Kung-Fu Robot Code which lead to a Freestyle Robot session giving everybody a healthy dose of laughter.

3. Robot Base Discussion

Coach Will prepared the Robot Base. We agreed that we would start with a pre-built base from a plan. We jointly reviewed the base and discussed the different aspects

.

4. Challenge Analysis - Theory

Coach Will prepared a table with the 12 board challenges for the kids to evaluate - Points per challenge, location of each challenge, difficulty level

5. Challenge Analysis - Assessment

The team worked on the gameboard to assess the challenges physically and brainstormed how some of the challenges could be solved.

6. Challenges - Assignment

Today, each Team Member picked 1 out of the 12 challenges and was assigned to think of how a robot could solve the challenge.
