Povzetek

Učenje programiranja je običajno suhoparno. S pomočjo didaktičnega seta Lego Mindstorms NXT učenje programiranja postane zabavno in zanimivo ter motivira učence. Tudi starostna meja učencev za učenje programiranja se zniža.  Preko igre se naučijo algoritmičnega razmišljanja, delovanja senzorjev ter konstrukcije robotov. V prispevku bom predstavil, kako so se učenja programiranja s pomočjo didaktičnega kompleta Lego Mindstorms NXT lotili učenci stari 12 let.  

Ključne besede: programiranje, robotika, Lego Mindstorms

Abstract

Learning programming is usually dull. Teaching programming, by using Lego Mindstorms NXT set, learning becomes fun, interesting and it motivates students. Also, the age limit for children to learn programming is lowered. Through play they learn algorithmic thinking, acting sensors and the construction of robots. In this note I present, how children aged 12 year, learn programming using the didactic kit Lego Mindstorms NXT.

Key words: programming, robots, Lego Mindstorms.
