Thank you all for making WeDo Robotics a huge success! We opened two additional classes to accommodate all of the excitement. If you didn’t get a chance to come to the program this time, we have more sessions coming in the winter and WeDo will be available at the Tech Open Labs. Sign up for our next WeDo class here!

In class, we learned there are two parts to creating a robot; building and programming. In the building portion of the class, we used LEGO bricks, axels, pulleys, motors, and sensors to create an alligator. During the programming portion of the class, we wrote code to determine if there was food in the alligator’s mouth. If the motion sensor detected activity, the gator chomped.

What impressed Aly and me the most was that every single person was able to build and program their robot in just one hour! Great work!

Here is a short stop-motion video we made to show everyone the steps you took to build the alligator:
