2- B Grade
Step 1 The Challenge (Edic, Danna P., Luis Alberto, Fernanda)
The Challenge of this Project was to make a poster with the Butterfly Life Cycle
designed on Paint, and program a robot. Its name is Dash. We used an app to
make it go through each Butterfly Life Cycle stage shown on the poster.
Step 2 Gather Materials (Gustavo, Thiago, Constanza, Jesus)
To make our project we used a cell phone with the Blockly App., a robot (Dash),
and a poster made with a design of the Butterfly Life Cycle done on Paint.
Step 3 Explore (Laura, Eugenio, Leonardo; Juliana)
We investigated about robots and learned that a robot is a mechanical device
controlled by a computer. It is a machine designed to execute one or more tasks
automatically with speed and precision, previously programmed. We can program
robots using Wi-Fi, a cell phone or an app, by coding, those are instructions
programmers write in special languages. We can do this because a robot´s brain is
a computer.
Step 4 Create (Juan Pablo, Victoria Z.,Ana Victoria, Aaron Cruz)
First, we had to make an investigation about the Butterfly Life Cycle. Then we
made a design of the Butterfly Life Cycle stages and checked the material we
needed to make the diagram. It had to be flat so the robot could move easily on its
surface. Then we programmed Dash to move it around our diagram.
Step 5 Try it out! (Diego, Mauricio, Enrique, Sara)
We practiced programming with code. We installed the App Blocky on a cellphone
or tablet. We programmed Dash to move around the Butterfly Life Cycle. We used
different programming combinations to make Dash move around the Butterfly Life
Cycle that we wanted to talk about.
(Barbara, Isabel,Mia, Gabriel )
During the project, we learned how to code using the Blocky App for Dash. Virtual
reality is the term used to describe a three-dimensional computer-generated
environment which can be explored and interacted with by a person. Virtual reality
allows the person to view three-dimensional images.
We also learned that the Butterfly Life Cycle has 4 stages: egg, caterpillar (larva),
Chrysalis (pupa) and its final stage is to become into a butterfly. The
life cycle process can take from a month to a year. It depends on the type of
butterfly.
