IN THIS LESSON

I can use technology to produce creative solutions to problems.

First, we will watch some videos and discuss how people are using 3D printers to help people who are missing hands or arms. Then, I will share the rules and expectations for using the WeDo Robotics kits. Then, you will get into groups and build a robotic hand by following the directions in the WeDo app on your group’s tablet. .
