Nosy Robot (Gr.3-5)

Description

Turn Dash into a pesky little, nosy robot who always wants to know what's going on.

Objectives

To understand that a function incorporates a set of instructions or actions that can be called on over and over again.

Lesson Procedure

In the Nosy Robot, students will program Dash's nosy expressions and actions over a series of 5 challenges. Dash will repeat a series of actions (a wink as a customized eye pattern - open eye lights, close eye lights, open eye lights and a sound), when a conditional is met in the When block. By nesting a set of repeated actions in a function bracket, a Call block will activate this function when the conditional is met, i.e., Object Behind, Hear Voice and Obstacle in Front.
