Block Coding

Today we explored the Wonder Pack! Meet Dot and Dash, some pretty cool robots. We learned how to block code the robots to make them talk, move, light up and more.



We explored the robots ourselves using the Blockly app. Here is Jen trying it out! Dash

We are learning alongside the students. Here you will see the students using the Wonder app and students are working through the puzzles to explore all of the functions that the Dash robot has. You'll notice, we get stuck! You can clap to make the Dash move and it doesn't work! Turns out we needed to clap twice. Thanks to Carter and Kate and for helping us out.

Some friends from Sarah's class explored the Wonder App. We needed to go through the quests to learn how to do the block coding and discover all of the capabilities that the Dash has. After that, we set out a track in the hallway using snap cubes and coded the Dash using the Blockly app. Here is our code:



Here is what it looks like:
