5. Let's Get Started Today we will build and test our robot
Follow the instructions in your handout
- Give each student the day one handout and then let them get started building their robots. If you don't have enough robots for everyone, divide them into groups. They should be finished/almost finished by the end of the lesson.
- Take pictures of the students working so that you can put the pictures in the presentation that you will show to their parents on day six.
