Before we use Computers / iPad apps to write computer program code, we will learn about 'old skool' codes to communicate such as:
Morse Code
Phoenetic Alphabet
Maritime Flags (on ships)
Flag Semaphor
Genetic Codes
Use the interactive lesson on Mathigon (left)
If you think it's too hard,
then send me an " . . . - - - . . . "
If you are using your own smartphone - connect to the Guest WIFI. Download and use the Sphero Edu app

You need to follow the instructions on the page above to connect to the Sphero Ollie (make sure Bluetooth is turned on).

Write code to make Ollie travel in a square.
REFACTOR your code with a Loop to make it more efficient.
Let's practice accurate measurement of items in our class
Watch the interactive book about bridges. Experiment with recycled materials / found materials which you bring to school (cardboard, newspaper, bamboo skewers, string, glue, woven flax etc).
Your challenge (individual) is to design a scale drawing of a bridge which needs to support a Sphero Ollie across a 1m gap. Add labels and measurements.
Test bridge shapes using the simulators online, like: https://www.kiloo.com/en/construct-a-bridge/ or https://www.engineering.com/GamesPuzzles/BridgeDesigner.aspx
Your team (of 3) will evaluate the designs drawings, then take your team's best design to give to another team to build and test. Your team will then become builders and Test another Architect Team's design.
what mistakes did we learn from? What improvements can we apply?
We will use a Blockly app program to drive the Sphero across. Winning teams will get a prize.
