This unit guides students to complete, refine, and publish interactive coding projects by focusing on debugging, enhancement, and basic abstraction. Learners practice saving and testing programs, implementing clone behaviors and explode effects, using simple loops and custom blocks, and preparing projects for sharing.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze program execution and clone interactions (e.g., start-as-clone, explode block) to locate logical or runtime errors and produce a prioritized list of fixes
- Apply systematic testing and debugging procedures by saving versions, running test cases, documenting defects, and implementing verified corrections to meet specified behaviors
- Demonstrate use of control structures and abstractions by designing repeat loops and custom blocks (functions) that control sprite position, direction, and movement within an animated scene
- Evaluate and prepare projects for publication by enhancing functionality and user experience, creating brief explanatory materials, and submitting the final program to a public gallery or classroom showcase
