Students program robots to act out simple stories or scenarios, integrating movement and perhaps sound to tell a narrative.
Key Questions
- Construct a sequence of robot movements to tell a short story.
- Evaluate how different robot movements can convey emotions or actions in a story.
- Justify the choice of specific commands to achieve a desired narrative effect.
