12. Student Directed Project¶
Quick Overview of Day
Work periods to put the concepts learned so far into practice. You can choose to create anything you’d like, so long as the project you choose demonstrates that you understand the ideas we’ve studied.
- CS20-CP1 Apply various problem-solving strategies to solve programming problems throughout Computer Science 20.
- CS20-FP1 Utilize different data types, including integer, floating point, Boolean and string, to solve programming problems.
- CS20-FP2 Investigate how control structures affect program flow.
- CS20-SD1 Develop a coding project or conduct research in an area of computer science of the student’s choice.
Now that you have learned quite a number of concepts with Scratch, you should try to build a project that puts these ideas to use. Be sure that the project you choose allows you to demonstrate your understanding of:
- broadcast (to control program flow)
- loops (repeat, repeat until, forever blocks)
- conditionals (if, if/else blocks)
- variables
If you would like to explore some new concepts in your project, you might consider researching:
- clones (found in the Control tab)
- lists (found in the Data tab)
- reacting to video and audio input (found in the Sensing tab)
