In this short project, pupils create a simple game. A rainforest theme has been used as the context here, but the theme can be adapted to any topic. In the first lesson pupils design their game and create artwork for their background and main character. In the following coding lessons, they write and debug their code. In the final lesson they present and evaluate their games.
Do you want to learn computer programming through game play? Program Your Robot is a game designed to teach how introductory programming constructs work through game play particularly programming sequence, methods, conditional statements (if/else) and loops. By playing Program Your Robot you can see these programming constructs in action in addition to developing computational thinking skills such as algorithmic thinking and debugging.
Play a game based learning tool to develop skills in computational thinking. Program Your Robot is designed to improve algorithmich thinking, debugging and problem solving. The game teaches programming concepts through an immersive game play experience.
