3-6 SPIKE LEGO SET
We are pushing everything back one day to finish the 3D designs that didn't get printed last time.
For those of you who did not get your 3D print, log into Tinkercad and finish your design. Mrs. Masterson will need to get your file on disk and check it to make sure it can be printed.
If you are finished with your 3D design, you may practice and do lessons in Tinkercad or you can do the activities below.

I can find activities in the Spike program.
1. Watch the video below for an introduction to this weeks activities.
2. You will be working with a partner this week. Each group will need to use an odd numbered computer. Please choose someone that you work well with and will stay on task. I will move groups around to utilize the classroom space better and keep noise levels at a minimum.
-One person per group gets up to get a kit. You carry it with 2 hands in front of you.
-Always place the lid under the kit.
-Keep everything in its place until you need it. Do not remove the trays and place them somewhere else.
Look at the inventory page on the cardboard. What items should be in the bottom of the tote? Are you missing any of these pieces?
What do you notice about the organization of the kit? The extra box of parts is NOT to be opened. The kits are new, we need to reorganize these kits before we get started.
Parts have been numbered to match the box number. If you have something that does not belong in your tote, please let me know.

The hub is the computer that controls everything. This will need to be charged. Use the long cord from your tote to plug this into the front of your computer. Keep it plugged in for the rest of the hour.
To turn off the hub at the end of the hour, hold the button in for 10 seconds until the light turns off. The Light is flashing orange. The Hub's battery is running low. Connect the Hub to your device via the USB cable to begin charging the battery. The Light is flashing red. There’s an extended load on the Hub. Turn off the Hub and let it cool down for 15 minutes.
