Last week we went down to the pre-school to introduce a handful of different cool technology to the kids. There were about 30 kids in the classroom. We separated into three different groups with different pieces of technology. In his final days, Alex demonstrated how the Makey Makey works. He showed them how to connect bananas to wires to make a piano. From there the kids played with the makey makey and had fun making music with the bananas. My group demonstrated how the drop mix board went. If you look back on my other blog, I posted about the drop mix and how it works. The kids took turns putting cards on the board and making their own music. The final group demonstrated the robots. One of the robots was the Sphero. It's a small ball the rides around with manual control or code. Kids got to take turns driving the robots around the school. Picture above is the Sphero robot. Notice how it doesn't have any wheels. Pretty cool huh?
