First we need to make sure we understand exactly what happens in the split & average steps.
Let's start by drawing every frame, one by one...
Find out how we can make curved lines using straight ones using the string art construction.
What happens if the director changes their mind and asks for two headed robots?
First we'll review weighted averages of two points and extend the idea to three points. Practice weighted averages of two points in Environment Modeling if you haven't seen it before.
How can we calculate a weighted average between two points? (pssst. This video is super important).
Introduction to the basics of ray tracing.
This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:
"The Materials Research Society is proud to announce the 2020 MRS Communications Lecture honorees, Drs. Chun-Teh Chen and Grace Gu from the University of California, Berkeley. The honor recognizes excellence in the field of materials research through work published in MRS Communications. Drs. Chen and Gu are recognized this year for their prospective paper on how researchers are harnessing artificial intelligence to accelerate the design and discovery of composite materials. Their work is featured in volume nine, issue two of MRS Communications. Composites are combinations of two or more base materials, whose collective properties exceed those possessed by either material alone. Composites are widely used as structural materials in the automotive and aerospace industries and can also be easily found in nature. Limitations in manufacturing methods have generally restricted the architecture these materials take on in real-world applications. Most commonly, they’re processed into multilayer sheets..."
The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
Coders storyboard a project based on randomized idea(s) and create a project based on their storyboard. The purpose of this project is to synthesize understandings into a project with up to three randomized ideas.
Coders use a variety of blocks and customized sprites to create their own interactive diorama about an alien planet. The purpose of this project is to review changing or creating sprites using the paint editor.
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create an interactive diorama about their predictions for the future. The purpose of this project is to apply previously learned concepts in a new context (e.g., modifying sprites, parallelism, events, etc.).

Coders use a variety of blocks to animate each letter of their name (or vocabulary words). The purpose of this project is to review creating sprites using the paint editor.
Coders use a variety of blocks and customized sprites to create their own interactive diorama about a jungle. The purpose of this project is to reinforce the concept of parallelism to trigger two or more algorithms simultaneously.
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create an interactive aquarium. The purpose of this project is to apply previously learned concepts in a new context (e.g., creating or modifying sprites, parallelism, events, etc.).
Coders use a variety of blocks in parallel to create simulations (e.g., dribbling a ball). The purpose of this short project is to apply previously learned understandings in order to simulate motion.
Coders learn how to use the “go to page” blocks to create a multi-page story about a rainy day. The purpose of this project is to introduce coders to the “go to page” blocks and to apply previous understandings across multiple pages.
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create a multi-page story about a day as a pirate. The purpose of this project is to reinforce the “go to page” blocks and to apply previous understandings across multiple pages.
Coders use the repeat block to repeat a silly dance for Scratch Cat using motion blocks. The purpose of this project is to introduce young coders to repeating algorithmic sequences in ScratchJr.
