Max and Mia have decided to research fun insects. Can you help them find the most amazing insect?
Goal: Create an insect for the WeDo insect museum. Your insect must move in some way. It can hop, flap its wings, open and close its mouth–whatever you wish. If it also reacts to sound or movement, even better!
Start date: February 1, 2014
Due date: February 28, 2014
Rules: Insects may be realistic or creatures from your imagination. Spiders and centipedes are okay, too. In your submission, explain to the museum visitors what is amazing about your insect. You can only use the sensors and motors from the WeDo kit. However, you are welcome to use multiple WeDo kits, additional LEGO pieces, and non-LEGO materials. Tips for using WeDo motors can be found here: Design for Motion. For tips on using sound with the WeDo program, check out this snippet: Programming Sound.
This creature is from Asteroid X. It stays in one place and waits for prey to come to it. When a bug comes close to it, its motion sensor eyes detect it and open its mouth and catches the prey with its magnetic tongue (because the prey is made out of metal paper clips). Then […]
