CT Concept: ABSTRACTION

Lesson Plan includes Equitable Access

Coders create their own fidget spinner sprite using the paint editor and motion blocks to animate their fidget spinner when they press the start on tap trigger. The purpose of this project is to introduce coders to creating their own sprites and the start on tap trigger. 

Standards
