Coder cards are used with the Coder to code a 123 Robot. Each Coder card represents a command, and when inserted into the Coder, it will instruct the 123 Robot to complete a behavior.

There are seven different categories of Coder cards, and each category is color-coded. The categories are:

Motion - The blue Motion cards drive and turn the 123 Robot.

Sound - The pink Sound cards control sounds from the 123 Robot.

Looks - The purple Looks cards control the color that the indicator light in the center of the 123 Robot will glow.

Control - The orange Control cards control the flow of the project and allow the 123 Robot to make decisions.

Event - The red Event cards start or stop a 123 project.

Action - The green Action cards enact a series of movements and sounds from the 123 Robot.

Time - The gray Time cards control a focused amount of time for the 123 Robot to wait until the following action is executed.

Train a computer to recognize your own images, sounds, & poses. A fast, easy way to create machine learning models for your sites, apps, and more - no expertise or coding required.

TeachableMachine is such a great tool that everyone can create machine learning models with just a few steps. Unfortunately, the web version is not supported on mobile device and therefore we create this app to bring Teachable Machine to all mobile device users. Currently we support only image training. Simply gather data samples directly from webcam, or upload custom samples on your device, then train your model and instantly preview the result when done. You can also export the model and use it in your own projects!

Note:
- Training is quite slow at this moment (5 mins) but we are in the progress of fixing it.
- Your samples aren't sent to any servers. When you train the model, it trains inside the app based on your device's computational power and will not send anything to any servers.

The developer, Robocar Ltd, indicated that the app's privacy practices may include handling of data as described below. For more information, see the developer's privacy policy.

Data Not Collected

The developer does not collect any data from this app.

Privacy practices may vary based on, for example, the features you use or your age. Learn More

These scenes from "Wings of Life" were part of nature filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg's 2011 TED Talk titled "The Hidden Beauty of Pollination." (That's shared below.) From the video's synopsis:

...a film about the threat to essential pollinators that produce over a third of the food we eat. The seductive love dance between flowers and pollinators sustains the fabric of life and is the mystical keystone event where the animal and plant worlds intersect that make the world go round.

Pollination: it's vital to life on Earth, but largely unseen by the human eye. Filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg shows us the intricate world of pollen and pollinators with gorgeous high-speed images from his film "Wings of Life," inspired by the vanishing of one of nature's primary pollinators, the honeybee.

This book will get young readers buzzing about bees! Next Time You See a Bee reveals the big impact these little insects have on the world. It shows how the physical features of bees make them pros at collecting and spreading pollen. It explains how bees pollinate flowers, allowing the plants to produce delicious foods such as apples, almonds, and peaches. It also introduces readers to the wide variety of North America's native bee species, discusses why bees are threatened, and shares what readers can do to help. After reading Next Time You See a Bee, curious kids can partner with adults to observe these remarkable creatures without fear-and take bee-friendly measures to protect the insects for the benefit of us all.

Synopsis: Part of the Animal Habitats at Risk series, this narrative explores the story of a scout bee who emerges from the hive in search of food. Unfortunately, there are many challenges that the bee faces as she looks for the field of flowers from prior years. The challenges are related to human’s expansion on the land and the different obstacles that they bring. (Science and Children, Teaching through Trade Books, Sept/Oct 2020, 58,1)

Honey Bee:  The Busy Life of Apis Mellifera by Candace Fleming & Eric Rohmann

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I have always been a storyteller. Even before I could write my name, I could tell a good tale. And I told them all the time. As a preschooler, I told my neighbors all about my three-legged cat named Spot. In kindergarten, I told my classmates about the ghost that lived in my attic. And in first grade I told my teacher, Miss Harbart, all about my family's trip to Paris, France.

I told such a good story that people always thought I was telling the truth. But I wasn't. I didn't have a three-legged cat or a ghost in my attic, and I'd certainly never been to Paris, France. I simply enjoyed telling a good story... and seeing my listener's reaction.

Sure, some people might have said I was a seven-year old fibber. But not my parents. Instead of calling my stories "fibs" they called them "imaginative." They encouraged me to put my stories down on paper. I did. And amazingly, once I began writing, I couldn't stop. I filled notebook after notebook with stories, poems, plays. I still have many of those notebooks. They're precious to me because they are a record of my writing life from elementary school on.

In second grade, I discovered a passion for language. I can still remember the day my teacher, Miss Johnson, held up a horn-shaped basket filled with papier-mache pumpkins and asked the class to repeat the word "cornucopia." I said it again and again, tasted the word on my lips. I tested it on my ears. That afternoon, I skipped all the way home from school chanting, "Cornucopia! Cornucopia!" From then on, I really began listening to words--to the sounds they made, and the way they were used, and how they made me feel. I longed to put them together in ways that were beautiful, and yet told a story.

As I grew, I continued to write stories. But I never really thought of becoming an author. Instead, I went to college where I discovered yet another passion--history. I didn't realize it then, but studying history is really just an extension of my love of stories. After all, some of the best stories are true ones -- tales of heroism and villainy made more incredible by the fact they really happened.

After graduation, I got married and had children. I read to them a lot, and that's when I discovered the joy and music of children's books. I simply couldn't get enough of them. With my two sons in tow, I made endless trips to the library. I read stacks of books. I found myself begging, "Just one more, pleeeeease!" while my boys begged for lights-out and sleep. Then it struck me. Why not write children's books? It seemed the perfect way to combine all the things I loved: stories, musical language, history, and reading. I couldn't wait to get started.

But writing children's books is harder than it looks. For three years I wrote story after story. I sent them to publisher after publisher. And I received rejection letter after rejection letter. Still, I didn't give up. I kept trying until finally one of my stories was pulled from the slush pile and turned into a book. My career as a children's author had begun.
