Hello team!
We had an outstanding day today! All of the Inspire kits for FLL Jr. arrived and Morgan, Toby, Justin, and Julian worked with me to make sure that all of our Junior Robotics teams had their bins loaded appropriately. Your bins now have their official team numbers on the sides and the "temporary" numbers that we had given you at the start of the program (so you don't wonder where on Earth your bin has gone).
All of your kiddos now have their official Engineering Notebook (Yay! No more photocopies!), so make sure you get your kids names on their books, first thing. We also printed and distributed the instructions for building the pump and for attaching a motor. Now, the instructions show using a WeDo 2.0 motor for driving the pump, but remember, each of your totes contains the simple battery box and gray motor that we have used with LEGOs for years. Use that "unsmart" motor and battery box to control the pump so that you can use the WeDo 2.0 to find a way to convey the "water" from the pump to a reservoir of some sort that is located at least 6" away.
After today's session, we will have only two meetings left until the Expo at Super Science Saturday. Remember, you have a LEGO model to build and a tri-fold display about your team's learning process. Make sure you are talking about these two deliverables so the kids are ready to work on them for the last two meetings.
Can't wait to see all the cool stuff you guys build! Check out the tote video from our Snapchat feed today! Snapchat Video of FLL Jr. totes.
