Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

This is a 2 part activity, but meant to do in one sitting. If that isn't possible, have students use a device to record and save their VexGo Code Base video and selfie to upload to seesaw later. Part 1️⃣ ⭐Summary: After building or using a pre-built VexGo Code Base, students will use VexGo coding to code a path for the Code Base from start to finish. You can build fields, use chart or butcher paper to make a map, or simply map with tape on the floor. Ideally, students would have an identical copy of the map to record measurements, speed, etc. Part 2️⃣ ⭐Summary: After completing the coding portion, have students open seesaw and navigate to the reflection. Students will do several things: 1. Take a selfie (or upload a picture previously taken) with Code Base. 2. Record (or upload) a video of Code Base moving with their code. 3. Think about how they solved a problem in their code and share. 4. Think about something they would repeat next time that helped them be successful and share. 5. Think about how they felt about the coding experience. 7. Use the emojis to share how they felt. πŸ”‘ Key Vocabulary: Coding block commands πŸ”— Helpful Site to learn about and review the coding commands: https://codego.vex.com/ ⭐This is a supplemental activity that can be used in conjunction with your district curriculum. πŸ›‘ Always preview videos to be sure they fit your audience/needs.
