Explore programming by making an affective (relating to moods and emotions) robot face out of card, tubes and students, and program it to react to different kinds of sounds (nasty, nice or sudden) and show different emotions (sad, happy, surprised).
Then think up some other facial expressions and program rules to make the face respond to sounds with the new expressions.
