Codester Lesson 2: Use coordinates to create a design for a phone case with your initials!

stage.set_background("city")sprite = codesters.Sprite("person14")sprite.glide_to(-200,200)# 2) Use the Pen Down command from the # Actions toolkit. Use Set Color to change the color.sprite.pen_down()sprite.pen_width(20)sprite.set_color("blue")
# 3) Start Drawing your letter! # Use a glide to command to get to the next corner. sprite.move_down(400)
# 4) Keep connecting points until you create# the first letter. sprite.pen_up()sprite.go_to(-152,199)

sprite.set_color("red")
# 1) Set up your stage and sprite. # Position your sprite at the start sprite.glide_to(-100, 50)

Lesson 3: Create company logo

# 1) Research a logo to recreate. # Include your name and the logo name as a comment.sprite = codesters.Circle(0,0, 300, "red")# 2) Choose the basic shapes you will use to create # logo. Use different variable names to refer to # each shape.sprite = codesters.Circle(0,0, 200, "white")# 3) Use parameters and action commands to # put shapes into position.
sprite = codesters.Circle(0,0,100, "blue")

# 4) Use Text commands from the shapes toolkit # to create wording for you logo.sprite = codesters.Text("PEPSI", 0, 0, "white")

# 1) Research a logo to recreate. # Include your name and the logo name as a comment.# sprite = codesters.Circle(x, y, diameter, "color")sprite = codesters.Circle(0, 0, 300, "red")# sprite = codesters.Circle(x, y, diameter, "color")sprite = codesters.Circle(0, 0, 200, "white")# sprite = codesters.Circle(x, y, diameter, "color")sprite = codesters.Circle(0, 0, 100, "blue")
sprite = codesters.Text("Target", -7, -188, "red") sprite.set_size(5)

Lesson 4: Chat with your sprite by using If-Else blocks are also called conditionals

Since conditionals needed much more time to finish the teachers didn't get up to the finial project.

How would you use this in your class Next year?

I plan on using the program with my students next year. We will work on several projects involving American History. The kids will use the program to reenact history. I believe it will be a new and exciting way to learn for them. Codesters seems like the perfect way to bring United States History alive.
