Coding for Peace: A Flag-tastic journey with Bee-Bot

Ημέρα της τελείας

Δημιουργία ενός λαβυρίνθου

• Σχεδιασμός:  Σχεδιάζουμε  έναν λαβύρινθο με κουκκίδες ως σημεία στόχου.
• Προγραμματισμός: Τα παιδιά προγραμματίζουν το Bee-bot να ξεκινήσει από μια συγκεκριμένη θέση και να φτάσει σε όλες τις κουκκίδες-στόχους αποφεύγοντας τα εμπόδια.

Activity 1: We use a large Beebot track with a map of Europe. We place small images of European flags at various points on the track. The children will program the Beebot, which carries a dove, the symbol of peace, to travel from country to country, saying the names of the countries for a Peace Journey with flags.

Objective: To connect the flags with the countries and understand the symbol of peace.

Activity: The children will program the Beebot to reach each flag, saying the name of the country and making a brief reference to the concept of peace.

Activity 2: Build a Tower of Peace. We use Lego or other objects to create a tower on the track. Each child will program the Beebot to transport a Lego piece to place on the tower. As the tower grows, the children will discuss how collaboration builds peace

Algorithms are instructions that we must follow to complete a specific task.

An easy and fun activity that can be repeated in many ways is command gymnastics.

This is an unplugged activity, requiring no device or internet connection.

We use large command blocks, which we place on the floor or tape to our classroom blackboard.

The commands are simple and include:

1. the images for the beginning and the end

2. the arrows, with which students are asked to move forward, backward, right or left,

3. the images with the various movements

4. the boxes, which show how many times (repetition) they have to repeat the movement.
