We have accessed a “Moon Landing Coding Adventure” provided by Get.with.the.program online. We learned how algorithms are a set of instructions that enable an object such as a rocket to move or “launch” across the computer screen. We then, used Espresso Coding to move our rockets, asteroids and spaceships using an event action such as “forwards, backwards, up and down”.
Knowledge
To understand that computers can use algorithms to make objects move.
Skills
I can explain what an algorithm is.
I can use a clear and precise algorithm to create an event
Vocab
algorithm, event, forwards, backwards, up, down, action. program
