This week students used BB9 to jump a ramp and then knock down Star Wars characters.  Students used strategies that included  Speed, Direction, and Distance  to complete this robotics task.

The next challenge was an unplugged Star Wars coding activity.  Unplugged activities promote critical thinking for coding without use of electronic equipment. Students had to code a path fro R2-D2 to CP30.  First they had to glue on arrows to code a path on a worksheet, and next they had to write the code using… Read More Week # 29 – Star Wars Unplugged

Our second Star Wars challenge was color coding Star Wars ABC’s with Ozobots.  Students had to select a STAR WARS letter and color code the letter for Ozobot to follow.
