Students will use blocks to create programs that move a virtual robot.
Class experience
Students will do more coding with blocks. They will use blockly code on an online site designed to manipulating an online VEX robot. Each week after a short lesson that covers more sensors, different loops, if-then blocks, variables, and operations, students and teacher will create a simple program that manipulates the online robot in some way. Students will be assigned weekly homework that they can do alone or with a partner. During class, they will review homework with the teacher and the...
