2/6/2018. This week in the iNEST maker club, the girls continued working on their Hummingbird robotics projects, with most groups getting into Scratch coding to make their wired sensors and effectors function. Students understand which Hummingbird blocks they need to communicate with given physical parts (LEDs, servos, distance sensor, etc.), but many are also learning they need to use control blocks to sequence a set of events (if-then-else), and to wrap a set of events in a forever blocks to keep the sensors "looking" for an action (e.g., a hand getting closer or farther away from a distance sensor). It is exciting to see the girls beginning to understand these basics of coding that can be applied widely in many other applications.
