Thread 1, Day 2 - Wednesday, October 19, 2022

Agenda

1. Programming with Purpose
   • Yesterday, we looked about how Jordi Bruin solved a small problem – visually translating a menu – with the Cibo app.
   • Sometimes, we can help others with major efforts, like writing an app, but...
     • ... how do we get to that place?
     • ... is that the only way to help others?
   • Please have your black hardcover notebook out while you watch Programming with Purpose with the class.
     • As you watch, write down any quotes that speak to you.
     • When you are finished watching, summarize a bit – what is one takeaway that you have from this video?
2. Continue working on the Name Plate task.
   • Here is a short code excerpt that illustrates a few techniques you may find useful.
     • To try this code out, you could duplicate your existing playground, then copy and paste in this code.
   • Remember, you can step through your code to see what line of code produces what visual result.
   • Sometimes we encounter a logical error, which is when the computer does not do what we intended.
     • We can "debug" the problem by checking the position of the turtle using the drawSelf() command.
   • You can get nicer colours by using the colour well.
   • Aim to complete the Name Plate task today. 💪🏼
     • If you are already finished drawing your name, could you enhance it?
       • Change to bubble letters?
       • Add colour?
       • Add a drawing of one of your favourite things or something that speaks to your personality?
