Jan.2009 Lego Project - sorting socks

Our Lego project for students was to sort socks.
Project documentation (German)
Sorting socks video

One thing we learned was that arranging the socks in a circle made more sense the linear line used to sort numbers.


As part of our training in this class we:
Build a Lego car and used it to:


Follow a circular line using:

• Lego Mindstorms NXT-G (graphical)
• Lejos - Java JVM that runs on Lego

so we learned to flash the Lego firmware.


Transverse a maze with wood walls (Lejos)


Learned an introduction to sorting by playing a game where we sorted ourselves by the number assigned us.


Additionally I visited and reported on how Hogg Middle School used/taught computers and specifically Lego robotics. They were contacted because they won at tournaments.
And introduced Mrs. North's elementary students to Lego robotics
