DISCOVERY CENTRE - Years 4 to 6 - Emma Adcock
It has been a very exciting time in the Discovery Centre over the last few weeks as we have been learning about Algorithms using robots.
The Year 4 students have been using their knowledge of block coding to program the Dash and Dot robots. They have been able to create sequences with various different types of block codes, such as loops (repeat), events and conditionals (if statements). On example was getting Dash to run away IF it saw Dot.
Year 5 and 6 students have been using their knowledge of block coding to program Sphero Robots. They used loops and angles to code the robot to make a variety of shapes, such squares and triangles with some challenging themselves to make a hexagon.
