Hands on Milo the

Science Rover


Hands on Milo


Max and Mia in their Science lab


What do scientists and

engineers do when they

cannot go where they

want to explore?


Meet Milo, the Science rover


• Build the first model from the provided building instructions.

• Program the model with the sample program.

• Experiment and change the parameters of the program.

• Discover new programming blocks on your own.

• Document.

Getting started, Part A

Milo, the science rover


Build an arm for using the motion sensor to allow

Milo to detect a special plant specimen.

Getting started, Part B


• Building a device using the tilt sensor to send a message back to base.

The programming string will trigger two actions depending on the

inclination of the tilt sensor

If tilted down, the red LED will light

If tilted up, a text message will appear

on the device

Getting started, Part C


Pair up the teams to complete this final part of the mission.

Build a transportation device by physically connecting two rovers together.

Getting started, Part D

Collaborate

Create your own program

strings so you can move a

specimen from point A to B.


Getting started with the hardware, software and the project process in 4 steps


What is WeDo 2.0

for Science


Key Components of WeDo 2.0 for Elementary Science


The WeDo 2.0 Solution is

build up of various

components


The Core WeDo 2.0 experience consists of the brick

set and core software, - purchased as one


Motor
