3/31 Code Combat & Tinkercad

1. Code Combat- until the passing period break

You should have created an account using your school Google email and password.

Continue on your Code Combat quest!  Can anybody finish the forest levels and move into the desert?  

2.  Last chance to Tinkercad!  We will be ordering prints in the near future.  If you have already created something within your $25 budget, create something that could go in the LOMS shop.  Extra credit points will be awarded for LOMS shop items!

3/25 Code Combat & Tinkercad

1. Code Combat (until passing period break)

You will be graded on your progress!  Go to Google Classroom and open the document: "Code Combat Screenshot"

When you are finished playing Code Combat, take a screenshot of your progress (the map where you select your levels)

3/20 Make-up Day

1.  Check your STEAM grade in PowerSchool

• What are you missing?
• Are there scores you are unhappy with?

Arduino Reflection Log: You should have entries from 2/13 (Blinking LED), 2/18 (analogWrite), 2/20 (Buzzer), 2/26 (Final project plan), and 3/10 (Final project reflection).  See blog from 3/9 for details on how to write the Final project reflection.

Electronic Circuits Reflection: A few people are missing this piece from your Circuits website.  See blog from 2/5 for details on how to write the Circuits reflection.

Hour of Code:  Some people did not take a screenshot and/or didn't complete the Hour of Code.  See blog from 3/3 for details.

3/17 Make-up Day

3/12 Hour of Code

1. Hour of code: Hello Processing.

• You will need ear buds to listen to the video tutorials
• Spend about 5-10 minutes on each exercise.  The entire tutorial should take about an hour.
• When you finish the last exercise:
• Take a screenshot of your final project including the picture and code.
• Go to Google Classroom and find the document titled "Hello Processing"
• Put the screenshot on the "Hello Processing" document
• Click "submit"

2.  Log-in to Tinkercad and continue working on your project.  We will be ordering our 3D prints soon.  You should be nearing completion of your design(s).
