Hillsboro's 8th graders are diving into the world of technology with their Computer Science 8 class. Students are exploring the fascinating realm of app design, circuits, and robotics.
Students have started their engineering adventures with Edison robots. These programmable robots are equipped with sensors and motors, allowing students to experiment with different coding commands and observe the robots' responses.
In a recent test, students programmed their Edison robots to perform various tasks, such as following a designated path and detecting and avoiding obstacles that would interfere with the planned trajectory.
By working with Edison robots, students are developing essential coding skills, problem-solving abilities, and a deeper understanding of how technology works.
