Primary 7 were creating obstacle courses for Marty the Robot. They had to code Marty to avoid the obstacles. They had to experiment and find the right way to code Marty to the end. We are all enjoying experimenting with Marty.

Today the children were beyond excited to meet Marty the robot!
The children used Scratch Editor to put together blocks of coding which made Marty walk, dance, light up, whistle, kick, wave and even do the splits!
I was so proud of how well the children worked as teams. They supported each other and learned form each other. Amazing to see. Lots of smiles and laughter too.
Throughout the session the children will develop their coding skills and use their knowledge to solve problems with Marty. They will also have lots of fun at the same time.
Primary 7 had great fun today getting to know Marty the Robot. Using block coding the children were able to programme their robots, making him dance, walk, light up and wave. Over the next few weeks P7 will take their learning forward and use code to solve a number of problems using Marty.
A huge thank you to Gary Neilson, East Ayrshire’s IT Coordinator for Education, for giving us the opportunity to borrow this amazing resource. Primary 7 had great fun!
