A loud Thymio is a fun Thymio. \n\t1. Start or restart by pressing on middle button\n\t* Simultaneusly hold right and left arrow until robot turns red \n\t* Press middle button while red\n\t* Use UP ARROW to max out volume\n\n### Optional\nPrepare a custom SD card with files to make a playable instrument using these [instructions](doc/createSoundFiles.md).\n\n## Introduction\n* Get them excited\n\t* Present Thymio: swiss robot made @EPFL by Francesco Mondada \u0026 team (sensors and default modes)\n* Get to know their skills: ask about other workshops they took. Adapt difficulty.\n* Explain differences between event-driven and sequential programming\n* Show different robot modes\n\t*  Green = friendly: comes close\n\t*  Yellow = explorer: advances and avoids obstacles\n\t*  Red = fearful: avoids\n\t*  Cyan = investigator: follows black line\n\t*  Pink = obedient: control with direction buttons\n\t*  Blue = attentive: listen to claps 1x, 2x and 3x claps yield different results\n\n## 01 Thymio Theremin\n[\u003cimg src=\"https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https:%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2F7%2F74%2FLev_Termen_playing_-_cropped.jpg\u0026sp=e61486185f0cbeed477827774bbcae44\"\u003e](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin)\n\n[Léon Theremin Playing His Own Instrument](https://archive.org/details/LeonThereminPlayingHisOwnInstrument)\n\nCreate an instrument using the `Thymio VPL` software, like so.\nLet them add extra actions on events.\n\n![Instrument](img/00_instrument.png)\n\nUsing [Pitch analyzer](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pitch-analyzer/id571243369?mt=8) \nI reverse engineered the notes: \n\n![Instrument](img/01_sounds.png)\n\nHere is a small melody by Gwen: \n\n```\nc#4 c#4 E4 G4\nE4  c#5 A4 G4\nE4  c#4 A4\n```\n\nIt should sound like [this](doc/GwenThymio.m4a).\n\n## 01b Thymio tunes: Symphony No. 9 (Optional)\nSince this does not use `VPL`, should probably be used as a demonstration.\n\n* Load sounds from `/assets/sounds` onto SD card\n* Insert SD card into Thymio and restart\n* Load `00_playSDCardSounds.aesl` onto Thymio with `Aseba Studio`\n\nNote | Count | Filename \n--- | --- | --- |\nC | 1 | P0.wav\nD | 2 | P1.wav\nE | 3 | P2.wav\nF | 4 | P3.wav\nG | 5 | P4.wav\n\n```\n-------------------------------------\n# Ode of joy\n# E E F G   G F E D  C C D E  E D D\n# 3 3 4 5   5 4 3 2  1 1 2 3  3 2 2\n#\n# E E F G  G F E D  C C D E   D C C\n# 3 3 4 5  5 4 3 2  1 1 2 3   2 1 1\n--------------------------------------\n```\n\n## 02 Basics\n* Move forward\n* Stop before frontal impact\n* Avoid falling off the table\n* Stop when hit and get angry\n* Move in a circle\n* Turn around itself\n* Move towards the hand\n\n## 03 Friendly behaviour\n\nThis already teaches them about motors. \nShould take some time to add animated behaviours.\n\nThey should get to the conclusion that with what they have they can not stop a collision.
