I started a program related to our school's core values: Unified, Understanding, & Unstoppable. While I have not totally flushed it out, because I spent a lot of time just learning and understanding the interface, my initial thoughts are to have my students use the online emulator and have Root draw the core value words in different colors.

Another idea that I had was also having my kids do some kind of "All About Me" projects to help us build our learning community. This is still an idea in the making, so I do not have anything tangible to share for this yet.

Massachusetts Cranberries, Maple Syrup, and Pollination

Here is the link:  https://code.irobot.com/?project=DE8YK

This program was part of the climate change group that divided MA into 3 regions, Western, Central and the East The pollination program focuses on Central MA.
The robot will show the differences climate change will have on pollination and the flowers it will produce.  In the current climate, when the top right bumper is pressed, the robot will draw a beautiful flower.  If climate worsens, pollination will decrease thus producing flowers that don't have the vibrance as they do know.  To see the climate changed flower, the user will click on the left button.

* The program needs to be reset before a second button is pressed.

Our group has Root teaching others about global warming, by creating a bulletin board that shows what would be lost in MA if we don't get global warming under control. For western MA we focused on maple syrup production. Root is programmed to draw a bottle of maple syrup with sugar crystals inside (the amount of sugar in the sap is affected by changes in the growing season). Here is a link go the maple syrup

Music is what I turn to often when I need a mood boost, so I decided to code something about one of my favorite go-to songs when I'm down, Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds." I coded the robot to write the main idea of "Don't worry" and I added a snippet of coded music from the chorus.

This is designed to fall into the Health & Wellbeing UN Sustainability Goal.

An SEL/Health & Well Being related activity created for Kindergarten using the online emulator & with the robot based on the picture book When Sophie Gets Angry - really, really angry.  We created a document that describes the lesson(s) with screenshots and resources.

Here's the link! This program is used to help with UN Sustainable Goal #2 Zero Hunger. Access to food is a large part of this issue. 70-160 million people experience hunger during the pandemic. The rates of hunger were bad prior to the pandemic, and this issue only exacerbated it. This program aims to lower stigma associated with going to food pantries by turning it into an automated food delivery service program. You submit your orders, and a robot will deliver your foods in a secure and confidential manner.  -made by Steph Shelsy

To raise awareness about the impact of global warming, we chose to focus on its effects on Massachusetts agriculture. We created programs that would use "if,then" statements once fully assembled. Western mass would be represented by Maple Syrup, Central by Bee pollinators and eastern by cranberries. I went to the edge of my coding abilities by challenging myself to make a pyramid of cranberries. The idea is that the full pyramid will reduce down as Global warming increases. However, I'm still figuring out my code. This was a tougher challenge than I thought it was going to be!  But fun.   https://code.irobot.com/?project=HATQWhttps://code.irobot.com/?project=HATQW

This was a colab with elementary and middle school students working together. It can also be done in isolation.

This project has Root singing Holiday Carols on bump, touch sensor, and color scan. Use this as a multi-grade project by having elementary students code root to various colored papers in the classroom. Put the song code in "on color scanned"
