Tech: Tamaki College:Coding with Python

LI: To see and understand the connection between the written code, the block code and the flow chart.

This is the comparison between the Python coding, the blocks and the flowchart for making the Microbit act like a dice.

 LI: To try and get the mBot to draw a star shape for Matariki

This week the year 8s of LS2 coded the mbots to drive in a star alligned path. To make the code we used different action codes (moving, wheels, etc). We used a code that allows the mbot to move forwards, left and right, and the seconds the mbot has to do the task at. We drew a star on a large piece of paper and we tested our mbot on the paper. After we have tested our first one we made changes to further improve our mbot code. 

Rock Paper Scissors

 LI:To learn jow to cod the micrbit to play Rock Paper Scissors and understand how to flowchart matches the code.

1. When we shake the micrbit. It will choes a random number betwen 1 and 3.
2. I ahev to make a variables called hand and set this to the random number.
3. If the unmber is 1 the microbit will choses paper. 
4. If the unmber is 1 the microbit will choses Rock. 
5. If the unmber is 1 the microbit will choses scissors.  

Being a Jedi in Coding

 

LI: To code the robot to move backward without touching it.

Today at Tamaki College the year 8's started to do robotics. In robotics, we focused on using sensors by using the force. We first learnt about ultrasonic, which means sound waves that can't be heard by people. Once we learnt about ultrasonic, we started coding our m-bots on m-block to sense our hand, so it goes the other way. When we did our codes, we wrote the input, algorithm, and output of our code on a google slide and included a video showing our m-bots sensing our hand.
