In order to stimulate the self-confidence and creativity of minors, improve their overall quality, and let them experience the joy of artificial intelligence technology, the Juvenile Protection Station of Gaojing Town, Baoshan District, recently held a "Gyro Robot Making" activity at Jiangwan Central School in Baoshan District. The activity was guided by Mr. Jin Xinjia, an excellent science and technology tutor in Shanghai, a famous teacher of robotics education, and a mentor of the youth artificial intelligence competition.
*Structure and function of the "Gyro Robot".
What is a "bot" activity?
What are the types of bots?
Have you ever played with a spinning top?
What is the principle of the gyroscope?
How to design a small gyro robot?
Under the guidance of Mr. Jin, the children were full of curiosity to learn Xi theoretical knowledge of non-programmed robots, remote-controlled robots and programmed robots. At the same time, the mechanical structure of the non-programmed robot and the working principle of the mechanical device are systematically explained. As the children listened, they thought: What is the relationship between the time the spinning top keeps spinning?How do you make a spinning top spin longer?
Make a spinning top, look for tricks.
The gyro robot is built from the children's favorite Lego bricks, the children carefully observe the structure of the gyroscope, repeatedly try to assemble the matching, think about the structural role of the parts and the correlation between the spinning top rotation time and the gyroscope mass, shape material, external resistance, force, gyroscope center of gravity and other factors. Finally, it was found that the faster the initial rotation speed of the top, the straighter the initial angle, and the more durable the rotation became.
Play with the "little spinning top".
After nearly 1 hour of construction, a small LEGO gyro launcher was slowly formed, and everyone was eager to try to compete in a group to see who had the fastest, most stable and longest spinning top. The children said: "This activity is particularly interesting, the construction of the small gyro launcher is very difficult, which greatly enhances our 3D three-dimensional thinking ability and hands-on ability." ”
This gyrorobot-making activity led children into the world of Lego, cultivated their ability to discover, analyze, and solve problems, and stimulated their creativity and imagination. Subsequently, the Gaojing Town Minor Protection Workstation will continue to rely on the "Jingxiang" community service brand, use the uninsured station as a position, integrate all kinds of resources, and jointly create a good social environment for the healthy growth of minors.
