LEGO EV3 Robotics Soccer Shootout

To inspire my 5 girls and 5 boys in my Robotics Innovation Design from day 1 this year, I decided to do something a little different. Classes on our first day of school were 20 minutes long. I didn't want to spend the time talking about policies and goals etc... Instead, I wanted to do something that I could refer back to constantly throughout the semester. Thus, I introduced the final group project to get them thinking about ideas from day one. I showed them all the videos of the final projects from the past 4 semesters and left them with a question mark. "What will you all produce?"

I have posted final project videos all but last Spring's in previous blog posts. Below is the Soccer Shootout from my 2015 Spring RID class. I hope you enjoy it. It certainly inspired my present students.
