What do you want your robot to look like? I
want to create Anne Frank! I want her to be a robotic version
of the fifteen year old girl that changed the world. What do
you want your robot to be able to do? I want her
diary to vibrate in her hand and I want her to read a passage
from her diary. Where did you find your idea for
your robot?
My unit plan focuses on “The Diary of Anne Frank” and the influence of the Holocaust. The inspiration is directly from this unit plan!
OTHER QUESTIONS YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOUR PARTNER ABOUT THEIR ROBOT DESIGN
Everyone’s unit plan bots were incredible. They were creative and directly tied to their content areas. I would love to ask them about their personal inspiration and how they came up with their ideas. Also, I am curious how they carried out their plans to fruition.
IMPRWHAT WORKS? WHAT DOESN’T WORK? WHAT COULD WORK
BETTER?Anne stands up by herself.
She truly looks like a cartoon version of Anne Frank.
Her voice sequence works. She reads a passage from her own diary.
Her diary begins to vibrate in her hand before she starts reciting.
Her body is lopsided and slightly disproportionate.
The sequencing doesn’t always work like I had originally planned.
She only has two functions of technology, instead of three.
She needs more assets to her character.
I would have loved to try to add different aspects of technology into her frame. Perhaps more than one voice feature, making her open her mouth when she read, having her move her diary as she read aloud, etc …
Anne has the potential to do a multitude of things!
PLD E SI G N MA T E R IA L S: WHAT MATERIALS WILL YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR ROBOT?
I needed a large circular recycled material for the face, brown yarn for the hair, and a rectangular box for her body. She also needed two toilet paper roll arms. I used a lot of felt and construction paper to make her look like a little girl. I also needed yellow construction paper for her Star of David on her left hand side. I also needed the Hummingbird and robotics kit.

Arts and Bots Project Development Worksheet
Project Title: Anne Frank Unit Plan Bot
Project Leader/Liaison: Participating Teachers: Rebekah May/Harold Blanco
The Purpose and Main Features of the Project: Anne Frank will read part of her personal diary via voice sensor.
Preparing the launch: Lots of prepping and brainstorming was needed.
Curricular objectives and scope of the project: This project will teach students about the historical figure of Anne Frank in a more intuitive and hands on way. They will also hear her read her diary aloud.
Learning activities: This activity teaches simple robotics, math/science/simple engineering, arts and crafts, and hands-on learning.
Learning outcomes and assessment: How to create a robot and how to work individually on a large project! :
Resources and support: Harold Blanco and the Arts and Bots notebook.

ARTS and BOTS Interview Questions
To identify the "story" behind each robot, try to cover the following points, and develop the ones that sound more interesting for each specific interviewee. Of course, if anything else comes up in the conversation that is interesting and not part of these points - dig deeper.
Tell me about how your robot works – what electronic parts did you use and what do they do? Anne Frank utilized the sound sensor. This allowed me to record my voice reciting a passage from her diary and then attaching it to the Hummingbird. Additionally, the vibrator sensor was used. Her diary begins to vibrate in her hand before she begins reading.
Identify decisions made (materials, technology, programming, story): All of the materials were recycled “junk” that was brought to our classroom. However, it was most beneficial for my project. I hand-picked the materials I would need, along with an excessive amount of construction paper and felt. All the technology material was found in our robot kits. What did you enjoy the most about this process, what was the most
rewarding part of the experience? Why? How so? I loved creating a unique idea! Anne Frank is so specialized. I loved brainstorming what she would look like and figuring out what I wanted her to read in correspondence with my unit plan. It was neat recording my voice and implementing that into the computer.
What was the most challenging part of this assignment for you? Why? How did you overcome / resolve it? I struggled making sequences on the programming system. It was more difficult when I was by myself and couldn’t rely on team members. However, with hard work and diligence, I figured it out!
What did you learn from this project (about robotics and the curricular topic)? I learned how to program a robot. This was something I NEVER thought I could do! I also learned that if I can do this, my technology driven students of the future could certainly program a robot. I also learned even more about Anne Frank and her life during the Holocaust by frequent internet referencing and research. Show / describe the robot doing its thing (+ the assignment if relevant)
