WeDo Volunteers - We NEED You!
Interested in Being a 4-H WeDo Robotics Volunteer Leader
4-H is always looking for willing volunteers and great teachers!
Will you train me how to use the equipment? YES! Amy Rhodes will schedule a time convenient to your schedule or set up a group training to teach you how to build, program and give you a informative look at the curriculum and how to run your club.
Are there resource materials? YES! WeDo provides a wonderful self guided curriculum that allows you the ability to teach right from the book. So need to struggle with trying to figure out what to do for each meeting, by following the curriculum you will see how easy it can be.
What kind of support will I have? Amy Rhodes will assist in any club needs and robotics education.
What does the WeDo kit consist of?
The complete package of LEGO Education WeDo includes:
- 158 LEGO brightly colored elements, including gears, and levers
- One LEGO USB Hub connects directly to a PC, standard, XO or Classmate laptop to allow control of hardware input (tilt and motion sensors) and output (motor), thereby bringing models to life
- One motor, one motion sensor and one tilt sensor
- Drag and drop icon based software that provides an intuitive and easy‐to‐use programming environment suitable for beginners and experienced users alike
- Activity pack CD-Rom provides up to 24 hours of instruction and includes 12 activities based on four themes: Soccer, Adventure Stories, Wild Animal Park and Mechanical Toys. Running alongside programming software, activities are introduced via animations. Teacher notes and glossary are also included.
Leaders can use WeDo to teach a variety of subjects represented through 12 activities supported with teaching curriculum. However, WeDo is designed to be easily adapted for use in other ways to help young minds understand a wide range of subject matter.
Easy-to-use, drag-and-drop software designed to work with the WeDo Construction Set. The software, powered by LabVIEW, is icon-based and provides an intuitive programming environment. The software automatically detects motors and sensors when they are attached to the LEGO USB Hub. It also, includes a digital Getting Started Guide with simple building tips and programming examples.
