Joseph's Coding Projects
My name is Joseph, and I am 12 years old this year. I started learning robotics with LEGO Mindstorms and block-based coding when I was in Primary 3. Since then, I’ve really enjoyed designing and building different types of robots and structures to automate simple, everyday tasks in my life. Learning robotics has helped me become a better problem solver by encouraging me to think both logically and creatively. It has also improved my focus, patience, and ability to work through challenges step by step. Through robotics, I’ve learned how to break down complex problems, test out different solutions, and keep improving my designs. Robotics also helps students like me develop important skills for the future, such as coding, teamwork, and critical thinking. It shows us how technology can be used to solve real-world problems and inspires us to be more innovative and curious about how things work. Most of all, robotics has made learning fun and exciting for me! I have documented my journey in robotics.
Ferris Wheel
I learned how to use LEGO Technic parts to design and build functional mechanical systems. By applying coding concepts such as conditionals (if-else) and integrating various sensors, I programmed my creations to respond dynamically to their environment. One example was a ferris wheel that moves only when the touch sensor is activated. This simulates the real world when it is operator driven to ensure safety.
