Lesson 4
Programming & evaluating representations
Introduction
Pupils plan and program LED images using MakeCode to represent some of the nature they observed on their walk. They then evaluate their LED art in simple ways and reflect how they have used computational thinking in their learning.
Learning objectives
- To use logical reasoning to predict the output of programs
- To plan and construct algorithms and programs to create LED image representations
- To evaluate programs
