Robots have lots of sensors that work together to help the robot understand everything around it. The light sensor is really good at telling the robot if the room is bright or dark; the sound sensor can tell the robot when there are loud or quiet sounds. Because the light sensor can only see light and the sound sensor can only hear sound, both sensors need to talk to and listen to each other to help the robot understand the whole picture.

Just like sensors, our friends can often see, hear, feel or understand things that we cannot. It’s important to listen to others’ points of view. When we listen to others, we see new things that we couldn’t see before, and it helps us understand the whole picture.

The Challenge:

It’s your team’s job to de-code a series of messages. The catch? You each only have a piece of the solution. Without looking at your teammates’ sensor data card, work as a team to decode each message.

- Player 1 can only see the secret code’s vowels.

- Player 2 can only see the secret code’s consonants from B-L.

- Player 3 can only see the secret code’s consonants from M-Z.

- Player 4 can only see the secret code’s blank spaces.
