#12DaysofCoding #BootUpPD Heather Cunningham, EdD these two 3rd graders figured out a solution to a challenge I didn’t think had a solution. I’ll admit my lack of knowledge and proclaim how proud I am of them. Apparently it’s all about using the command “go to start” which acts as a Loop.

As we near the end of #12DaysOfCode, we used the Hide command to show subtraction. #BootUpPD Heather Cunningham, EdD

#12DaysofCode This was a Vex123 challenge to get the robot around the square only using the coder deck. I didn’t have a solution. These girls figured out one. #BootUpPD Heather Cunningham, EdD

#12DaysOfCode This actually goes back to our first lesson with Vex123 robots, using the buttons on the robot to get it to go around a square. Love their excitement when it worked. #BootUpPD ⁦Heather Cunningham, EdD⁩
