Programming students have been doing a great job of learning basic operations and input/output techniques using the Finch robots and snap programming language. We will finish up this unit early this week when students will create a pong video game and will program the finch bots to be motion controls for the game.
Once we are finished with this, students will then be moving on to the Python computer language. We will start off comparing and contrasting Python to other well-known languages. We will then start learning basic input and output techniques using Python. I'm hopeful we will be able to get a quick program in before the end of the week with a number guessing app that we will be modifying throughout our next few lessons.
Students have really impressed me with all they have learned so far. They have made robots avoid obstacles, programmed the robots to play music, coordinate movements from commands, follow light sources, and much more. I'm excited to see what they can create moving forward!
