Re: Middle School Mindstorms Class Help
First off I have a couple questions:
Are you using the LEGO Mindstorm, or the Mindstrom EV3. The programming for the two, though similar, is different. The EV3 more closely resembles LabView.
Are you only concerned about programming or the overall construction and programming?
Do you have an practice mats to utilize to help with programming? There are multiple sites for mats, and you may be able to talk an FLL team out of an old mat (though getting a complete mission set is harder to do, as the LEGOS get reused).
I have seen note cards be used to show how the links go together, before the actual programming is done.
Have fun, and let the kids fail every now and then, they learn best by their own mistakes.
Good Luck
