After you download the SPIKE programming software, to load a program to your robot, you need to connect to your hub! Now lets learn how you can do that! 

You should already be acquainted with creating numeric variables, how to set their initial value, and how you can use them, but the main function of the variable is that it varies.

Here, we'll show you how you can change the value of numeric variables using two different syntaxes.

Today's lesson has no new material to teach the students. Instead, the students should revise and solidify their knowledge and you should focus on those students that are falling behind.

Try your best to teach them agency so that they do not fall behind again.

At the end of the lesson, direct all of the students to the last of the additional tasks.

Carefully explain the competition rules to the students.

Before we get started, we would need to connect the robot to the computer so we can test our programs.

Many LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Bricks in one classroom could be a nightmare. Why? Because they all have the same name. If you intend to use them in the classroot with Bluetooth connection you should rename the bricks. It get's technical so bare with us.   

The pybricks-stubs package cooperates with Visual Studio Code's IntelliSense in providing programmers with information such as the next variable or function they could use and provides information on the written-out commands, such as their functions and input parameters.

The ev3dev2 adds extra commands for the EV3 brick. It depends on the ev3dev library, which is installed alongside the EV3 MicroPython Visual Studio Code extension. If you haven't installed EV3 MicroPython, due so before you proceed.

The Rope library allows us to automatically refactor our code. In this course, you will learn how to use this library to quickly edit variables, functions, etc

Autopep8 automatically formats code. There are standardized rules for how a well-written piece of code should be formated and this tool will help us follow them.

Visual Studio Code is a text and code editing tool. In this course, all the code for the robots will be written in Visual Studio Code.

Required materials

1. A PC equipped with Windows 10;
2. Administrative rights and access to the Internet ( these are necessary only during installation);

EV3 MicroPython is an operating system that the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robots will use to function.

Required materials

1.  A Windows 10 equipped PC;
2.  MicroSD Card with a minimum of 4GB of memory;
3.  MicroSD Card port or reader;
4.  Duct tape and paper for a label and tail for the SD card

As with the two sensors we have covered so far, the color sensor can be used as a condition for the wait block, the switch block or the loop block. The color sensor, as well as the ultrasonic sensor, has several modes. Nevertheless, these modes are substantially different. While the ultrasonic sensor has two modes - one to work in centimeters and one in inches, the color sensor has three modes - one for detecting the color of an object, one for ambient light and one for reflected light.

This class is about constructing, but you have to keep the focus in the group. Note the following guidance on how to conduct the class.

We all know that it takes different amounts of time for different types of garbage to degrade in the environment. But how do different degrading times compare to each other?

We show youtune videos to student. We ask them to park parallel and perpendicular. Here are a few tips on how to conduct such a robotics class.  

Sometimes more passive students do not participate when they do not understand how to complete the task and they are ashamed to ask for help.

The goal of this lesson is for students to have fun with a new robot. 

When subscribing a user the platform is inspecting a few conditions and deciding what message should be send to the user.
