Tech - Matariki Stars

 LI: To code the mbot to make a star, as it's Matariki.

This week for tech is the last week for term two, this week was also about the Makariki celebration because it was Matariki on Wenstday. Today we learnt about how to code the mbot to make a star shape with a pen taped to it. We had to figure how long the mbot will turn and how long the mbot will go in the straight line. This week was very intersting because we got to lern about Matariki and to learn more about coding the mobt to do more complex stuff.

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.

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.
