Description

In this lesson, students will learn how to add comments to their code and practice writing comments in JavaScript as they build and test their problem-solving robot. First, students consider the benefits of leaving comments in their code and practice leaving comments in a program they have not seen before. Next, students will continue work on their problem-solving robot by building and testing the code, accessories, and environment for their project, using their Master Plan as a guide for completing tasks. These activities will be guided by the Design Process Notebooks.
