Description

In this lesson, students will learn how to create a triage robot capable of interacting with a patient to determine whether they require further help. Then students can write code that would accept key inputs to record heart beats and then convert this number to a common unit, heart beats per minute. The user’s heart beats per minute will be displayed on the LED screen. Finally, students will finish their program by adding a feature that has their Codey Rocky inform the user whether they have a healthy heart rate, and displaying an animation on the LED screen that shows roughly how fast the user’s heart is beating by adding a feature that tells the user or patient whether they have a healthy resting heart rate, or not.

Objectives

1. By the end of this lesson students will be able to describe what If-Then and If-Then-Else Statements are and how they work in getting a user's input.

2. By the end of this lesson students will be able to program Codey Rocky using different if-then and if-then-else statements along with movements and actions to take your heart rate, determine if you are healthy and display your actual heart rate on the screen.
