AuthorDrGraeme started having fun with the first commercially available STEM robot, the Tasman Turtle, back in the early 1980s. Volunteer mentoring with the subsequent LEGO RCXs, NXTs and EV3s in schools were followed by providing free lessons online that have been accessed by millions of people from over 190 countries, with translations of web pages into over 55 languages. These new tutorial "how to" demonstrations are just starting to look at the remarkable LEGO 51515 set. Looks lots of potential fun! :-) Archives

Part 1 of the first "Absolute Beginners" LEGO 51515 Robot Inventor Scratch Challenge is up, free, and available for use just before Christmas 2020! :-) This Challenge uses the tiny robot TAZ1 that we have previously shown you how to build. We think about what a weird Alien might be like, and how to teach a Robot to approach it. This is an addition to the previous 5 tutorials that show you: 1) How to download the LEGO 51515 app. 2) How to find suitable containers for the 51515 components, to aid easy building 3) How to update the LEGO 51515 hub and motors 4) How to build a tiny first robot. 5) How to control your robot using either of the computer languages Scratch or Python, after having connected your robot to your computer using either a USB or Bluetooth connection. We had hoped to get a bit further by now, but it took a time before these sets became available in beautiful Tasmania. Even though Tasmania have been free from COVID-19 for over half a year, everywhere outside Tasmania seems to have slowed down. Our very best wishes to all of you for a Happy Christmas and a wonderful 2021 from DrGraeme.
