mBot: Orientation (Grade 3-4)

Description

In this lesson, students will first review the concept of sequencing and the application of sequential algorithms in programming scripts. Building on this previous practical experience, students will be introduced to the use of Motion blocks. Students will then use the Motion blocks to develop a short animation about the stars.

Objectives

  • Demonstrate the understanding of the sequence that well-defined sequential algorithms affect the execution of programs.
  • Utilize appropriate programming scripts to generate interactive effects for the star sprites built on a well-defined algorithm of visual display.
