Dash needs to collect some goodies, like candy and seashells (who wouldn’t?)! Introduce students to sequencing by using Blockly to program Dash to gather the objects.
Don’t have a Bulldozer Bar? Fashion one using the Building Brick Connectors that come with each Dash and your own Lego® bricks or other materials.
LEVEL C: LOOPS
Dash's Spaceship Spinout
Students will explore using loops within Blockly to program Dash, who is spinning out of control in outer space. Make Dash spin and then program Dash to shout for help and then stop spinning.
Dash is quite the character! Transform Dash into a puppy and use Blockly to program functions to have Dash perform tricks, speak, and run an obstacle course.
Sometimes Dash likes to be funny and do the unexpected. When you program the Speak Function, have Dash speak words in addition to barking.
LEVEL F: VARIABLES
Dash's Road Trip
Time for a road trip, and what better buddy to travel with than Dash? Use Blockly to set variables to fill up and keep a full gas tank before the big trip.
Have students design a new path to the gas station using at least 2 acute turns and 2 obtuse turns. Then have them calculate the sum of all of the angles Dash turned on the path.
