​

• Practice writing a program on Level 2 or 3 using movement blocks (direction, speed, duration)
• Add a celebration at the end!

After book check out we will test your robot…

With your partner you will attempt to use the Finch to score a goal!

Reflection

Were you able to create an algorithm to score a goal?

​

Did you need to debug your algorithm?

​

How could we improve this process?
