Activities

01) Engineering Turn Signals

Students work through the computational thinking process to create a program that mimics how a turn signal works on a vehicle using Blockly, a //code.Node, and a //code.Node cart.

02) 3-2-1 Launch!

Students work through the computational thinking process to create an alert system as to when to launch their //code.Node cart. Additionally, students will create a weight drop launch system to investigate how unbalanced forces affect motion.

03) Investigating Odometers

Students will calculate the circumference of the //code.Node cart wheels. Students will then use the computational thinking process to apply this information into a program that will mimic an odometer.

04) Crash Test: Impact Alert System

Students will work through the computational thinking process to create an impact alert system using Blockly, a //code.Node, and a //code.Node cart.

05) The Need for Speed

Students will program a //code.Node cart to react to another //code.Node cart based on its speed.
