mBot: Clear the Snow!

In this lesson, students will develop their design-thinking and problem-solving skills by designing and creating a system for automated snow/debris removal from an area. Students will create a computer program to guide the actions of the snow removal mBot, as well as a physical accessory for mBot that works well with the program. In doing so, students will discover how the form and function of structures can be designed/optimized for use within a larger system.
