RECYCLEBOT

A No-Talking Teaching Experiment

In this project, I was asked to teach students how to build a robot using recycled materials. The robot must be able to be made in 10 minutes or less and could be personalized and decorated by the owner. The challenge is that I can only use visual instructions to teach instead of talking. 

​

I first constructed the robot using various household and recyclable materials and then drew easy-to-follow instructions. During the class, I gave the plans and materials to my "student". She was able to follow my instructions and build the robot easily.

I gave a 20-minute lecture about the topic of Color on Zoom. It introduced the definition, history, and meanings of color with global examples. Watch my teaching demo for more details.
