The group contacted Grove City College for assistance in obtaining these badges.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Mohr, Professor of Electrical Engineering, said that the engineering department had some Lego Mindstorm robot kits that had been used previously for an Introduction to Engineering class. Since the kits were not being utilized, the College provided the kits to the Girl Scouts. The kits included wheels and motors, a computer brain called \u201cthe brick\u201d, and an ultrasonic range sensor that measures distance.<\/p>\n<p>Once a week for four weeks, the 4<sup>th<\/sup> grade girls came to Grove City College to work on designing, programming, and testing their robots. The goal was to be able to program the robot to stop before hitting a wall and then turn around and go another direction. The first week involved introductions and an overview. The second week was building the robot. The girls were split into four groups of three or four and came up with a design plan. The third week involved creating tangrams and writing instructions for others to solve the puzzle to practice programming. The final week was programming the robots on the computer using the software provided by the kit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5842\" style=\"width: 333px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/j.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5842\" class=\"wp-image-5842 \" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/j.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"323\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/j.jpg 664w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/j-285x300.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5842\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Programming the robot.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5839\" style=\"width: 557px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/girls.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5839\" class=\"wp-image-5839\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/girls.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"547\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/girls.jpg 828w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/girls-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/girls-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 547px) 100vw, 547px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5839\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This robot features a &#8220;unicorn horn.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5841\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/scouts.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5841\" class=\"wp-image-5841\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/scouts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/scouts.jpg 535w, https:\/\/blogs.gcc.edu\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/11\/scouts-292x300.jpg 292w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5841\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The completed robot.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year, 13 girls from the Grove City Girl Scout Service Unit came to Grove City College to earn their robot badges.
