FROM R2 TO R2Robotics in Space
When you think of robots in space, what comes to mind?
Science Fiction leads to…
Science Fact!
Curiosity
Mission GoalsGoal 1: Determine whether life ever arose on Mars
Goal 2: Characterize the climate of Mars
Goal 3: Characterize the geology of Mars
Goal 4: Prepare for human exploration

LEGO Mindstorms
“Oh, you actually DO something in your class? I
thought you just played with LEGOs.”
LEGO Mindstorms
• Application of classroom concepts
• Technical reading• Task-oriented problem solving• Career exploration• High interest• Connections to “real engineering”• Teamwork and group dynamics
Activity 1: Blind Build 1
1. Choose a partner.2. Each person needs to retrieve a bag of LEGOs from
the table.3. Determine who in your pair is taller. That person will
be Leader 1. The other will be Leader 2.4. Using only the LEGO pieces in your bag, Leader 1 will
create a structure using fewer than 10 pieces.
Hide your structure from your partner. NO PEEKING!!
Activity 1: Blind Build 1
Leader 1:Give Leader 2 instructions on how to build your structure.
Describe the pieces the best you can. • Length• Color• Shape• Use
Hide your structure from your partner. NO PEEKING!!

Nomenclature
no·men·cla·ture
1. The devising or choosing of names for things, esp. in a science or other discipline.
2. The body or system of such names in a particular field: "the nomenclature of chemical compounds".
Why is nomenclature important?

Resources:
• 9797 LEGO Education Users Guide pdf
• Page 69 in Building Guide in kit
• Measuring Card
Activity 2: Blind Build 2
Leader 2:Using fewer than ten pieces, create a structure different from the one you built earlier.
Give Leader 1 instructions on how to build your structure.
This time, use LEGO nomenclature to describe the pieces and placement in your structure.
Hide your structure from your partner. NO PEEKING!!
Activity 2: Blind Build 2
Debrief:
How did the addition of nomenclature change this activity?
How can this apply to teamwork as a whole?
