Would you like to teach students how to write looping and conditional algorithms in a fun and engaging way? Students learn the following skills with this no-prep mini unit:

  • choose a background.
  • insert multiple sprites.
  • customize sprites to make a new costume.
  • write code to reset a sprite back to its original size, direction, and location.
