Glossary of Terms for Robot Day

Checklist

A checklist of items that students need to complete to earn their robot expert badge.

MicroSim

Online simulations of the physical world are created with generative AI tools such as ChatGPT.

Most MicroSims are created using OpenAI's ChatGPT generating p5.js simulations.

Robot Corral

A region of the Robot Day floor space that is dedicated to allowing the collision avoidance robots to run free. The corral is typically about six feet in diameter and the wall height is about six inches. The corral fence is usually made of cardboard that can be quickly folded up. Some corrals have "NASCAR" type signage that references the sponsors of your local Robot Day event.

Robot Expert Badge

Small badges are given to students who complete their checklist of activities. We provide a variety of PowerPoint templates you can customize to add your school name or event name to the badge. Badges can be printed on mailing address labels and cut up into squares.
