Hi Universitians,

In about 50 minutes - 

AMAZINGLY - WUaS Bookstore is now carrying Lego Robotics (but WUaS is not yet a reseller)

Now how to create a WUaS Engineering course out of this (and the other 2 kits) for some of our 5 students this autumn - and with Scratch programming? Here's one example integrating Lego Robotics' We Do 2.0 with Scratch -

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/386012815/ .

Also the 2 WUaS wings' web sites (as separate legal entities) have been significantly updated: 

All the best, Scott


PS
It looks like there's a new Lego Mindstorms robotics' kit coming out this autumn, called Mindstorms' Robot Inventor 5-in-1 (building on Mindstorms EV3) and where students can also work with Python programming, as well as Scratch! 


(Alex helped us a lot become carriers of Lego Robotics!)



It'll cost $359, apparently less than the Mindstorms EV3 Core the WUaS Educational Services' Store is carrying - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html at $439, at this point. 

Sincerely, Scott

Rotate WeDo 2.0 Windmill robot with this Scratch program


https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/405150165


- In 'Create' in scratch.mit.edu (https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/editor/), 1) choose WeDo 2.0 robotics' extension from lower left, 2) turn on 'Scratch Link' (by searching?), 3) then connect your WeDo 2.0 robot to Scratch interface following the dialogue boxes
- Then click on 'Green Flag' to rotate physical WeDo 2.0 Windmill robot with this Scratch program - from 'See inside' from within the editor!


WeDo 2.0 physical robots you make (Lego) need connection
- You need to have Lego WeDo 2.0 robotics' kit for this.
- In seeking to connect Scratch with a physical robot for the first time, I found this YouTube video helpful:

~ fun robotics


Hi Ma, 

Nice to talk with you, and thanks for calling back last evening.

Sought to make fun Lego robotics - a fun robot - with Scratch programming language for this (Monday) morning's big educational project's Livestream, News, & Q&A ... https://youtu.be/fmd7vEkbFyw ... and made a little windmill robot beforehand (which you can see here), but only made this work with the Lego block programming language.

Then, after Livestream, I figured out how to connect the windmill to my laptop, and program it in a beginning way with Scratch, which I touch on in today's blog entry too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/06/woodland-gilias-saltugilia-splendens.html (with today's Livestream). COOL to do this ... and potentially re my big educational projects' students, and home robotics. (MIT Media Lab's work with Lego has created some of these possibilities).

Making these robots is interesting visually, and potentially inspiring Lego-robotics' coding-wise too, since robotics will facilitate the learning of programming languages, like, newly, with the Python programming language, and beyond Scratch ... Possibly internationally in creative ways too in multiple languages - and as STEAM projects in the future (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) ... 

How are you? And what are you up to this week? Appreciating our talking last night too re connecting ... (as seeking a life partner continues in these regards as well). 

Sending love, Scott


It looks like there's a new Lego Mindstorms robotics' kit coming out this autumn, called Mindstorms' Robot Inventor (building on Mindstorms EV3 which came out 7 years ago) and where students can also work with Python programming, as well as Scratch!

students' patenting? ... with their own Lego robotics' creations ...




Area students take LEGO robotics to the next level

"The Bird SPA team shared their findings with local environmental educators and scientists, environmental cleanup contractors and with personnel from the International Bird Rescue. All of those contacted thought this was a great idea that deserved more research and testing. Since this is a new approach for cleaning birds, the team has filed an application for a provisional Patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office."

Oh, patents! Lego® Mindstorms® – EPO Award Finalist

"Sixty years later, and more than 1000 patients after the first Lego® brick patent was filed in 1958 by Godtfred Kirk Christiansen, the Danish Lego® Mindstorm® inventors, Gaute Munch, Erik Hansen and team, are competing for a 2018 European Patent Office Award in the Industry category. In the interim also, The Lego Group Toy Company has also become the third largest toy manufacturer in the world."
