Introduction:

In this lesson, students will program interactive projects using guided tutorials, solve puzzle modules, and create a “Power Cell” game!

Objectives

• Use code blocks to create a program
• Apply sequencing of steps
• Use loops for repetition

New Code Blocks

Vocabulary

• Coding: Using a computer language to tell the computer what to do
• Sequence: The order in which steps or events happen
• Actors: Tynker characters and objects that can talk and interact with each other
• Command: A specific action or instruction that tells the computer to do something
• Loop: An action that repeats one or more commands a specific number of times
• Counting loop: A loop that repeats one or more commands a specific number of times

2. Tutorial Intro (Video)

3. Move Gus Example (Example)

• You create and program Gus the astronaut to walk around the space platform!
• Finish early? Experiment with your code and make Gus move faster around the screen.

5. Alien Sounds Example (Example)

6. Alien Sounds (DIY)

• Create a unique space-themed project with characters and sounds!
  • Switching between backgrounds
  • add characters and sound effects
  • animate a spaceship Actor

7. Puzzle Intro (Video)

8. Collect the Ray Gun (Puzzle)

• Use two “walk” blocks to get the astronaut to his ray gun.
• HINT: Count the spaces in front of the astronaut.

• To solve this puzzle module, you will need to use “walk” and “jump” blocks.
• Plan out, or think out loud through Gus’s movements before adding code blocks.
• HINT: Use a “jump” block to make Gus jump over the rocks.

• This puzzle uses the "repeat" block, which tells Gus to do the same thing a specific number of times.
• Although you can solve this puzzle using nine “walk” blocks, experiment with your code and use the “repeat” block.
