Processing Pollinators: CS Bytes 001
CS Bytes are designed to help you bring computer science to your students in a bite sized chunk of time, integrated into a content area you may already be teaching. Lesson, resources, and video linked on doc.
We’ll use octostudio to receive a network message whenever a student finds a flower. We’ll first do this with counting blocks, where our gatherer/pollinator brings a tile back after each flower it has found. Then we’ll try it with the network feature of octostudio with teams working together to send back a message each time that they find a flower. We’ll see which one works best.
