In honor of International Social-Emotional Learning Day today

…check out the Role Play Robot VEX 123 STEM Lab! The idea behind this lab is to have children think and talk about feeling words and how behaviors connect to emotions by coding the robot to “act out” different feelings.

For instance, “When I’m angry I might yell, turn around, and walk away.” So I can code my 123 Robot to play a honk sound, turn around, and drive 2 steps.

Just for fun - How would you code what you are feeling right now? :smile: :thinking: :astonished: :worried: :confounded:

What other ways have you incorporated SEL into your STEM teaching?

Well, it’s Friday, so my 123 emotion code would be dance-y:

  • glow green
  • turn right
  • turn left
  • turn right
  • turn left
  • turn around
  • play honk
    (to the toon of the Hokey Pokey - :dancer: )
