I am starting this blog as part of a project I’m undertaking to teach kids about programming and robotics. Today we started with the Getting Started part of Mindstorms. Hmmm, I hated how we had the step-by-step instructions for building, and then it completely dropped off. No, step-by-step instructions for programming something cool? That was disappointing. Luckily, we figured it out. We put on the touch sensor and used the programming on the NXT unit to create a simple program.
