Young coders apply their understandings from previous projects to create an animated card. The purpose of this project is to reinforce understandings from previous projects within a new context. This project can be repeated throughout the year for various events, holidays, birthdays, to give thanks, or as an act of kindness.

First we'll use the slope intercept form of a line to define each frame along a straight line.

, We will learn about why flamingos are pink. Students have the opportunity to explore as a class or individually. With suggestions for different age groups. This resource has some activities to engage students with drawing, writing descriptions, or both. 

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.

First we'll review De Casteljau's algorithm using three points. Then it's your turn to figure out how to do it with 4 points!

Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to animate a mini research project about the desert. The purpose of this project is to introduce using the message blocks with multiple sprites and pages.

Coders review and apply a variety of blocks and sprites to animate a multi-page project about talking animals. The purpose of this project is to review using the message blocks with multiple sprites and pages.

Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to animate multiple jokes. The purpose of this project is to reinforce understandings of storyboarding multiple pages and applying prior understandings into a project of interest.

We can use de Casteljau's algorithm to calculate curves using any number of points.

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:

"Climate change is altering our world as we know it Despite general guidelines for mitigating harmful changes Climate change affects different areas in different ways And those effects aren’t always clear Now, a new evidence-based tool could provide the resolution to tailor plans of action around the globe It starts with a meta-analysis that gathers climate change data for a given ecosystem That data provides the input needed to draw conclusions about future climate trends, or scenarios Such as increases or decreases in temperature The effects those changes are likely to set in motion are then linked together in a causal chain Which can reveal how crops, natural resources, or animal species will fare amid climate change Although the tool becomes limited when data for a given area are scarce It could be a powerful new way to develop custom-made plans for fighting climate change.."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to animate a mini research project about creatures that fly. The purpose of this project is to reinforce the concept of parallelism by simultaneously triggering two or more algorithms that simulate flight.

Let's breathe some life into our ball using a key animation principle: squash and stretch.

Bonus! In this video we'll connect the degree of these curves to the number of control points in the construction.

Coders create their own fidget spinner sprite using the paint editor and motion blocks to animate their fidget spinner when they press the start on tap trigger. The purpose of this project is to introduce coders to creating their own sprites and the start on tap trigger.

Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create their own interactive diorama about animals on a farm. The purpose of this project is to introduce coders to the sound blocks.
