Make a Cute Robot!

In this class, students create a robot by following the hint provided by the teacher. The objective of the class is to learn simple shapes and colors, and practice reading in English.

I'm a huge fan of riddles and brain teasers, so this class was fun for me to design because I could write my own riddles to challenge the students.

I taught this class to a different group of students every day for a semester, which allowed me to make lots of minor improvements. I spent time tweaking the pool of robot parts to ensure there was visual clarity between each piece. The same goes for the riddles.
