Approaching An Alien
(LEGO 51515 Python Tutorial Part 1)
This is the first "Absolute Beginners" Challenge for our LEGO 51515 Robot. We imagine that an Alien Ambassador has arrived on Earth. Since we are uncertain if the Alien is warlike, we will send a robot to investigate.
But how to communicate with an Alien? We look at what is probably the most alien animal on Earth, and compare it to us. We then demonstrate how to approach the Alien (hopefully) safely. We then get a bit concerned and retreat in panic!
These images could be downloaded to wrap around a bottle to represent an Alien:
Since this is our very first "Absolute Beginners" Challenge, we will demonstrate the computer language Python in more detail than we will use in later Challenges.
In following parts of this Challenge (not yet available), we will try various ways that might allow us to communicate with the Alien.
