![]() ![]() ![]() It is common to find cameras that use color sensors to monitor buildings, stores and schools. For instance, many color sensors detect when it gets dark and "automatically" turn on streetlamps, headlights and parking lot lights. They can detect the ambient and reflected light of their surroundings and nearby objects, and be programmed to trigger follow-up behavior. ![]() This engineering curriculum aligns to Next Generation Science Standards ( NGSS).Ĭolor sensors are showing up in many products and devices. A PowerPoint® presentation and pre/post quizzes are provided. Students also see how they perform the steps of the engineering design process in the course of designing and testing to achieve a successful program. ![]() They see how robots take input from color sensors and use it to make decisions to move, similar to the human sense of sight. Students practice and learn programming skills and logic design in parallel. Working in pairs, students program LEGO robots to follow a flashlight as its light beam moves around. Students' understanding of how robotic color sensors work is reinforced in a design challenge involving LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 robots and color sensors. ![]()
