This unit guides students through building interactive sprite-based projects (a hide-and-seek game) and a simple number-sharing gadget that moves from Scratch to a micro:bit. Students will plan with flowcharts, create and animate sprites and clones, use variables and radio communication, test and debug, then enhance and share their projects.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze flowcharts and brainstorming notes to create a clear plan for interactive sprite and micro:bit projects
- Apply event-driven programming concepts to build and animate sprites, costumes, clones, and green-flag behaviors for a hide-and-seek game
- Demonstrate creating and using variables and radio messaging to generate, send, receive, and evaluate numbers and identify winners, then transfer the program to a micro:bit
- Evaluate and debug projects through iterative testing, saving, enhancing scenes or gadgets, and preparing programs for sharing with an audience
