In our coding learning this week, the children expanded upon their understanding of events to learn about event handlers and what they are. They learned that event handlers are a piece of code that is always waiting for an event to happen. When the event handler identifies that an event has occurred, it causes a reaction to happen by following a new piece of code. In order to explore how event handlers work, the children programmed Dot to perform a series of actions when one of his buttons were pressed or when he sensed an action had happened.
