Snow Bot Olympics!

In anticipation of the start of the Olympic Games, we had our own Snow Bot Olympics.
Second graders had to work in groups to program their Snow Bot to compete in three events: slalom, giant slalom and snow cross. These Olympic Games challenged us with the need to accurately measure how many forward commands were needed before programming the Bots to maneuver around cones and to turn in the right direction.  This was a great way to use our programming skills in a fun competitive way. The final snow cross event ended with a big Bot pileup before the first turn. Everyone showed growth in programming skills and had fun at the same time!  Thanks to Mrs. Martino for helping us with our first Snow Bot Olympics!
