This is an Arduino-based, easy to build version of the famous insect-like walking robot. We show how to build a remote-controlled version, dynamically programmed using Scratch.
What about making our own interactive (Arduino/Scratch) Talking Tom toy? In this guide we will show you how to build this toy using sensors and bi-directional Scratch<->Arduino communication.
We wanted to create a simple strategy of integrating Scratch and Arduino to teach programming mobile robots. We came up with 4 tutorials that attack the major problems we encountered. Here they are.
Another addition to the custom string blocks I have written. I had a request to add a block to allow searching a string for another string, so I have added this new block.
A lesson format that can be adapted to any grade level in middle school (and perhaps beyond). Students create an interactive animation to review the roots of words.
Students create function machine programs and challenge each other to figure out the function from the inputs and outputs. Basics of Scratch, includes simple lists.
