I found out today that due to Computer Science Week, BPS has an Hour of Code contest. Participating students can enter and possibly win an iPad air, so we are going to work on this today, instead of creating a story book.

Activity - 10 blocks challenge: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/85153026/
Inspiration - My creation from middle school: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/90537562/
Make a program using just the 10 blocks shown: Go to, Glide, Set size, Say Hello, Show, Hide, When flag clicked, Repeat, Wait, Play sound. Each block may be used multiple times, but you may not use any other blocks. Numbers and text inside the blocks can be edited.
You can use any background or sprite(s) that you wish.
