Class 3: Tuesday, 9/3/24  Big Ideas:  Basic Programming

  1. Phones in the caddy -- I can remind you of the numbers.
  2. Make a note about clean-up time.
  3. Finish the TACObot and start Unit 1.
  4. Together, let's create a "Robotics" folder in your Google Drive for storing program files.  Save one called 9-3-24 Practice File.  When you complete a lesson or challenge by creating a new program file, name the file with the name of the activity.
  5. When you start the lessons, challenges, and quizzes, be aware that you can close the blue "sign-in" strip that sometimes appears at the top of the page.

  2. Fill out the student information sheet.
  3. Quick Videos About This Curriculum:  5 Big Ideas in Computational Thinking -- Link in the course expectations, in Google Classroom
  4. Let's figure out how to charge the hubs.  How about this?...
    • Label it with blue tape, with your number -- in a way that does not block anything important.
    • Leave it plugged in, and I will store it after 7/8.
  5. Finish building the Tacobot.  Then begin Unit 1 -- Programming the Hub with Spike Prime
  6. Have a great weekend!  :-)
