R2-D2 has fascinated audiences since he came to life with his beeps and boops and flashing lights. Now, students will learn how to program a ½ scaled 3D printed R2-D2 dome. Using a laptop connected to the mini R2-D2 dome, students will start with a blank slate and learn how to write code to make their mini R2-D2 dome blink lights, make panels move, and play authentic droid sounds. Each student in the class will have access to a laptop and a uniquely painted mini R2-D2 dome. Students will learn the same programming skills that the Star Wars droid builders use to make their droids come alive! For grades 5-8, 9-12
