Coding Gan, Day 4: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!

eventomatic

Our fancy remote control is going to trigger events that will make us run a program!

Hello Coders!

I’m so happy to see you all today! :-)

You did such a great job making your seeds grow last week.

We have so much more to do. . .

Here is the algorithm for today:

1. Let’s catch up with Ruby and her friends

2. We’ll talk about “events” and “triggers”

vocab

 

 

 

 

 

3. We have a project based on the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

You’ll make the letters of your name move up the coconut tree!

IMG_0320Each letter will be triggered by a different event. There are so many you can choose from.

Remember: The letters are sprites and the coconut tree is a background.

4: Clean up

5. Cheer and “Bragging”

Have fun! :-)

Hi Coders!

Here’s our algorithm for today:

2. We’ll do an activity about planting seeds, learn a poem, then go outside and plant seeds!

3. We’ll use Scratch Jr. to draw a seed growing. We’ll be using the “grow” and “repeat” blocks.

4. We’ll visit this garden shop.

5. We’ll clean up and do our cheer.

Love,

Melissa

5. Write some code on the computer

6. Start a project on the iPads – with the Flurbs!

7. Learn a cheer

Have fun! 🙂 I’m sending you home with a computer to build. Here are the directions.

Love,
