1 - Getting Started ~2 mins
Look: here is our floor robot, the mat, and the teddy. You know the robot follows the steps we press. Sometimes it goes the wrong way. Today we help it get to the teddy.
2 - Watch Me Find the Bug ~6 mins
Watch carefully. I will send the robot to the teddy. Oh no, it missed! Look at this wrong arrow. That wrong step is our bug. It is not a creepy-crawly. We can fix it and try again.
3 - Re-plan the Route ~4 mins
Look at the path on the board. The steps already have one bug. We will find the wrong step, change it together, and press run. Then we try the same idea on the real floor robot.
Fix the robot's path
4 - Send, Spot, Fix, Try Again ~12 mins
Your group has jobs. One child lays the arrow cards. One child presses the buttons. Everyone else watches and points to the wrong card if the robot misses. Change that one step. Try again until the robot reaches the picture.
5 - How Did We Help the Robot? ~3 mins
Sit together. One group, tell us the bug you found and how you fixed it. That is the same job robot makers do.
