Robotics: Whac-A-Mole

Students will re-construct the popular arcade game, Whac-A-Mole! Using the toolbox of robotic parts, students will build the moles, movement mechanisms, hammer, and code to bring the Whac-A-Mole arcade game to life. As students build and program their game, they will learn how to construct their robot (Whac-A-Mole game), and work with motors, sensors, and cables (work with hardware). On the software side (writing code), they will learn about variables, conditional statements, and other computer science topics. Students will see their game come to life once they finish writing the code!
