For this week's morning and afternoon closing class. We created animations for a space ship and floating monkeys. The kids learned to use loops and how to change the Sprite over time.
In today's coding class we started on a motorcycle robot. It will use the gyroscopic sensor to keep itself balanced on 2 wheels. All they had for instructions was a video showing a working Lego motorcycle. No build instructions and no programming instructions.
The coding class finished programming their recent robot. They learned how to have multiple threads of program execution and how to interrupt one thread from another and how to use global variables as flags to send quick messages across threads.
