Lesson Introduction: Coding a Smart Car to Tow Vatican City!

🎉 Welcome, Aspiring Coders!

Hello, class! 🖐️ Today, we're going to embark on a thrilling journey where technology meets creativity! Have you ever thought about how coding can bring objects to life? Well, today, we're going to use our coding powers to turn a Sphero robot into a smart car that can tow Vatican City! 🚗🇻🇦

🌍 Setting the Scene

Imagine you’re a part of an exciting rescue mission! What if a tiny model of Vatican City needs a lift, and only a smart car can get it there? Don't worry! With the help of our Sphero robot, we’ll not only learn how to code but also explore how technology and creativity can work hand in hand.

🛠️ What You’ll Need

• Sphero Robot: Our smart car!
• Coding App: Make sure you have the Sphero app installed on your tablets or computers.
• Model of Vatican City: We will create a simple model using cardboard or any recyclable materials.

🎈 The Plan

1. Understand the Mission: First, we'll learn a bit about Vatican City and why it’s important. What would it be like to tow such a historic site?

2. Explore the Sphero: Let's take a closer look at our Sphero. How does it move? What coding skills do we need to make it tow our model?

3. Coding Time: Together, we will learn to write simple codes to control the Sphero, making it go forward, backward, and even turn corners—just like a car towing something!

4. Test and Improve: After we code our Sphero, we’ll put it to the test! How well does it tow the model of Vatican City? Is there anything we can adjust?

🧠 Thinking Ahead

Before we dive in, think about these questions:

• What challenges do you think the Sphero will face while towing the model?
• How do you think coding can solve these challenges?

Let’s unleash our imagination and coding skills to create something amazing together. Are you ready to become the ultimate coder? Let’s get started! 🚀
