Here are the activities that each group will be working on today:
Scratch 1
Extreme Sports obstacle course
In this activity, you’ll make a game in which a racer navigates an obstacle course for as long as possible.
Scratch 2
Work on completing the top down scroller game if you are already working on that. If you are not working on that, do the Shapes & Fractals project.
Option 1. Shapes & Fractals
Go to Shapes & Fractals instructions.
Option 2. Top down scroller game
Option 3 – Fruit Picker
Get practice using LISTS with this project.
Robotics
This session is run by Nathalie. An introduction to robotics using mBot robot kits and a block programming language called mBlock which is similar to Scratch.
Microcontrollers
A collaborative group exploring how computers can interact with the outside world through a range of sensors and controllers. Primarily we’ll be using the Raspberry Pi (http://raspberrypi.org) computer in conjunction with Arduinos (http://arduino.cc) and along the way we’ll learn about Python, C and C++ programming, digital and analogue electronics and about working together.
