Build‑a‑Robot Lv1

Lesson 1

Meet Your Robot + First Moves

Objective: identify robot parts and complete your first motion mission—forward → turn → stop.

Objectives

• Name motors, wheels, chassis, and a distance sensor.

• Use visual blocks to move forward, turn 90°, and stop.

• Log your build with a quick journal entry.

Materials

Simulation only (included). Optional: simple robot kit later.

Your Progress

0/6 tasks checked

Step A — Explore Parts

I can point to motors, wheels, chassis, sensor. I understand safety: clear path, gentle speeds, stop if unsure.

Step B — Motion Blocks

Forward distance (cm) I tested forward

Turn angle (°) I tested turn

Stop duration (s) I tested stop

Step C — Build Journal

Write 2–3 sentences (or add a photo later): What parts did you use? What was tricky? What worked?

I added a short journal entry.

Assessment & Next Steps

Check for understanding: Can learners name parts and complete the mission without help?

Extend: Try a left turn, or two turns (square path). Add a slow speed rule.
