Description
Make Your mBot2 Move with Just a Clap!
In this beginner-friendly lesson, students learn how to use the microphone sensor in mBlock to detect claps (or other loud sounds) and make the robot respond instantly by moving forward.
Perfect for classrooms, STEM clubs, or at-home learning, this pack includes engaging slides designed for hands-on, interactive coding practice:
✅ Step-by-step instructions with student-friendly visuals
✅ Annotated block code showing exactly how it works
✅ Slides designed to build-as-you-go
✅ Fun “Try It Yourself” challenges to encourage experimentation
What students will learn:
- How to use the microphone sensor to detect loudness levels
- Setting a threshold to trigger robot actions
- Controlling movement with speed and time parameters
- Using loops to continuously check for input until a stop condition is met
By the end, your robot will listen for claps and dash forward like it’s ready for a race - a simple but exciting way to explore robotics and coding!
Includes:
- ✅ PDF lesson slides
- ✅ Full solution .mBlock program for teacher’s reference
- ❌ No starter code needed - students build from scratch in mBlock!
