ICT - STEM

Meet Edison

During ICT classes this week the Year 3/4 students were introduced to Edison robots. These are remote-controlled robots that can respond to light and sound, follow lines and avoid obstacles, and communicate with other Edison robots. The students had a lot of fun learning how to program Edison through the use of bar codes and the program, EdBlocks.

In their play with Edison the students had to be good collaborators, thinkers and problem-solvers as well as co-operative team members.

Thanks must go to staff at Catholic Education Melbourne, Southern Regional Office for the loan of the set of Edison robots as well as other exciting STEM resources.

Enjoy looking at some of the things we did with Edison.
