B
  • Behavior-based Programming:
    A set of behaviors that independently work to accomplish their tasks, but together allow the robot to accomplish larger goals.
  • Block:
    A very specific icon-based instruction to a computer to perform some kind of action.
C
  • Complex Behaviors:
    A combination of different types of behaviors.
E
  • Engineering Notebook:
    A type of journal that the students will use to record their designs, ideas, and reflections as they move through the STEM Lab.
P
  • Programming:
    The process of using instructions (blocks or text) to tell a robot how to perform a task.
  • Pseudocode:
    An outline of a project that is written in plain language. Engineers often create pseudocode before they begin programming.
S
  • Simple Behaviors:
    A simple, yet significant task.
V
  • VEX V5 Speedbot:
    The robot build that is used for the STEM Lab. This robot is the result of the first hands-on lesson the students will accomplish. It is used to complete the rest of the STEM Lab activities.
