In this lesson, students will combine their prior knowledge to create a story about the future Robot Society and create a simple animation to deliver their ideas. Students will first, narrate their scenario with an mBot first met with a robot citizen in the future world. Students will then use mBlock 5 to create a dialogue between the mBot and the robot. Students will need to create simple sequential algorithms to make the sprites talk to each other.

Objectives

  • Utilize different panels and function in mBlock 5 while programming
  • Define the sequences of the sprites and logically order coding block to generate simple animated effects
  • Select appropriate programming scripts to make an animation using their imagination and ideas
