Rock, Paper, Scissors Flowchart

 LI: To learn how to code the micro bit to play rock, paper, scissors.

This week for tech we have been learning about flowcharts and microbits. Micro bits are little bot that are able to coded to flash rock paper scissors on the LED screen. 

1. When I shake a the micro bit chose a ramdom number between 1 and 3.

2. I have to make the variable called hand and set this to the ramdom number.

3. If the number is 1 - the micro bit will show the symbol for paper.

4. If the number is 2 - the micro bit will show the symbol for rock.

5. If the number is 3 - the micro bit will show the symbol for scissors.

Flowcharts and Dice

Building A Mbot

 LI: to understand how the robot is put together so that I can fix it when something goes wrong or it glitches.

This week for tech we were learning how the Mbot operates. Today Mrs ferguson taught us how to take the mbot apart. We had to take our mbot apart bit by bit because we might of done something wrong.After we have fully taken apart we needed to take a picture of the parts of the mbot. After taking taking our mbot apart we had to reasemble it again, but we had to put it back together by ourselfs. Mrs Ferguson taught us a few tips on how to reasemble the bot properly.We had a challenge, if we could reasemble out robot properly again and then code it to move left,right, forwards, and back. Our robot sucssefuly moved after we code it so we really knew that our mobt was working properly.we had to do this in partners.

Being a Jedi In Coding

LI: To use our coding skills to move to a robot backwards and forwards.

 

 

For this week for tech with Mrs Ferguson. This week we learnt about ultrasonic sensor. On our M bot we learnt to code our robot in a way that when we upload the code to the robot it will move forward until it senses my hand and then moves back as I more my hand towards my M bot. In the front of the M bot their are two little sensors where we will learn to code. After coding our M bots the ultrasonic sensors will detect something 10cm infront of the bot.  I enjoyed being in Mrs Ferguson coding class because I got to code a M bot to sense something 10cm away from it.

Tech / Coding

LI: To use coding games to help you get confident with coding.

For tech this week we were asked to play game, but not just any game we had to play games that had coding in it so you can boost up your confidence with coding and robots.Then we went outside to play a game. I learnt about how to code properly while play ign at the same time.

Tech Reflection

When we had tech we learnt how to make our mbots make sound and play music. First we had to go over how to code and then we had to use algorithm. The first algorithm we gave the mbot was to change the colour of the light it had.

The next algorithm (instruction) was to make noise their were different types of sound it could make. Then the third instruction was to tell the mbot to make music. The song our robotic teacher chose was happy birthday song.

Tech Reflection | Algorithm | Coding | Robotics

Today we had tech. The years 8 were separated from the year sevens. The year sevens were with Miss Ferguson. She was teaching us about robotics. First she taught about coding and algorithms. Then she gave as a robot each. before we could play with the robot we had do some coding which was instructions for the robot.
We learned and played a game so we understand what algorithms mean. Algorithms means Introductions.
