Time-of-flight Sensors
Students will learn about time-of-flight sensors and the theory behind how they work. They will then reconstruct a course using only Ari’s distance readings.
Rolling for Speed
Students will use the Ari Distance App to construct inclined planes of different lengths and heights with classroom materials. Using their constructed inclined planes, students will time a ball rolling down each plane and calculate its average speed.
Self-driving Cars
Students will learn how self-driving cars create a visual representation of the world. Then, using Ari’s Time-of-flight sensor, students will create a point cloud of Ari’s surroundings.
Stealth Object Design
Students will learn about stealth technology and different techniques for making objects difficult to detect. They will then examine materials of various properties to see how well they work with Ari’s distance sensor.
Ari’s Pollination Garden
Put on your botanist hat and create an interactive flower garden to explore how animals and insects help with pollination! Program Ari to mimic a pollinator’s journey, track which flowers were visited, and use the data collected to compare your resul
Can We Sense That?
Students will use the Ari Distance application to measure the distance from objects made of reflective, transparent, and solid materials. They will then describe how easily Ari can sense different types of materials.
ORA Essentials: Lesson 1 – Meet ORA
Students will learn about industrial cobots like ORA in order to understand the real-world application of a six-axis robotic arms. They will label the parts of ORA, experience a demonstration of it’s safety features, then create a safety protocol.
ORA Essentials: Lesson 2 – ORA Editor and Workspace
Students will learn about and explore the Ozobot Editor editor while manipulating code blocks. Then, students will connect to the ORA and run their code.
ORA Essentials: Lesson 3 – Basic Programming Blocks
Students will learn the basics of programming ORA and Evo, learn to identify, assemble, and run multi-block programs, and predict and control ORA movements.
ORA Essentials: Lesson 4 – Guided Programming
Students will learn X, Y, and Z axes through coding sequential motions, combine code blocks for ORA and Evo, learn to identify, assemble, and run multi-block programs, and plan movements for time efficiency and accuracy.
