2nd grade robotics

Second grade completed their first Robotics unit in STEAM class!  They used the Lego WeDo kits to follow detailed, complex instructions on how to build their machines.  Then they completed a programming challenge for each one.  They had to work through frustration when things weren't built right and figure out why parts of their programming didn't work the first time.  The struggle was real sometimes.  They used their SEL skills to stay calm, think positively, and have tenacity to figure it out.  I kept my intervention limited on purpose so that they could experience the joy of solving something that is difficult.  I'm so very proud of what they were able to do!  Here are some photos of the process.
