Project Description: 

With this exciting take home students will build a rumba style Bump Bot. After their initial lesson, students will get to put their knowledge of circuit diagrams to the test by incrementally wiring their robots using breadboards. We will go over parallel and series circuits, switches and loads, and the symbols that represent them.  Students will investigate the effect of electron flow on the torque generated by the Bump Bot as well as the effect of potential difference on the speed of the robot.

____________________________________________________________

In this lesson the core concepts focused on will be: 

• Series and Parallel Circuits
• V, I, R, Calculations

Note: All lessons include a presentation and a hands on building period which they then use to perform various tests.
