Task 2:  What did you learn from this lesson that you didn't know before completing this lesson?

Create a project where you code Dash to do a dance down the hallway. Use the attached Blocky Blocks to help you figure out what blocks to use.

You use blocks to do the following:
1) Use Drive blocks to get Dash to move
2) Use Look blocks to get Dash to move it's head
3) Use Light blocks to program Dash's eyes, chest, and/or ear lights to flash
4) Use Sound blocks to program Dash to say something.
5) Use Animation blocks to program Dash to do a fun dance, greeting or expressions.
6) Use a Control block to program Dash to repeat the dance until you want it to stop.
7) Use a Start block to signal when Dash will start following your directions.

When you are done and have ran the code using your physical robot screen shot your code and upload it here

According to this lesson, How can we use the internet to create and inspire?

In this dance-themed puzzle, you will learn how to program the Repeat until block and understand how it can be stopped by programming an event that will stop the repeat. You will program Dash's sounds and dance moves over the course of 4 challenges. In the final program, Dash will repeat a slow dance with a partner (the obstacle) until detecting a clap. The concentration of this puzzle is on programming the Repeat until block as a loop until something happens, for example detecting an obstacle in front.

Task 1:  Complete Puzzle#7 - Dance Contest
Task 2:  Answer ONE of the required reflection questions below:
 
Reflection Questions 

Brainstorm three everyday routines that Repeat until? Examples: Eating one forkful of food at a time until you are full. Walking until you arrive at your destination.
Where does the specific event that will stop the Repeat until appear in the sequence of a program?
What would happen if the Repeat until statement was never true? The specified event never occurs. For example, no one claps or there is no obstacle detected.
In this program, the robot is programmed to stop the Repeat until loop when there is an obstacle in front. Explain how this could be a true or false statement.
How could the Repeat until block be used to solve a real-world problem?

In this puzzle, Dash is part robot, part puppy and loads of fun! Your students will learn to train/program Dash to perform 5 different pet tricks over the course of 5 challenges. Each trick will be cued by a When block. Students will gain practice in using an array of When cues including: Top Button, Picked Up, Obstacle in Front and Hear Voice. When a condition is met, Dash will perform a command, e.g., look left, right, up and down, turn 45 degrees left or right, make dog sound. In the final challenge, students will be able to run the program for Dash to perform all 5 tricks! This puzzle reinforces the concept of conditions: When this happens; that happens. Example: Pushing the button on top of Dash's head cues a segment of code to run, i.e., Dash will Sigh, Turn Left 45" and then Turn Right 45".

Task 1:  Complete Puzzle#5 - Robot Puppy Training 
Task 2:  Answer ONE of the required reflection questions below:
 
Reflection Questions 
1. How is training a dog similar to programming Dash? Which do you think is harder?
Why? 
2. Can you explain why Dash’s tricks were programmed as 4 separate stacks beginning
with a when block? Why weren’t they all included in one stack? 
3. How is the weather like a when command? How does it affect your day?

Over the course of 9 challenges, students will create a dramatic ice-skating program for Dash that includes driving the robot forward and backward in a straight line, turning forward in left and right arcs and circles by adjusting the wheel speed differential located in the Set Wheel Speed block, as well as stopping drive movement by using the Stop Wheels block. Students will also practice customizing and programming Eye Pattern Lights to create various expressions for Dash, as well as programming All Lights in various colors for a stunning ice-skating performance everyone will long remember!

Task 1:  Complete Puzzle#6 - Robot Ice Skating
Task 2:  Answer ONE of the required reflection questions below:
 
Reflection Questions 

Explain how you programmed the robot to move forward in a straight line?
When programming the robot, why was it necessary to program the left and right wheel to turn at different speeds? What happened when you did this?
How did you program the speed for each wheel to make the robot spin right? left? *When the left wheel rotated faster than the right one, the robot turned right while traveling forward. When the right wheel rotated faster than the left one, the robot turned left while traveling forward.
How do you think different sized wheels would affect the robot's ability to turn? Do you think it matters? (Experiment with cardboard wheels and straw for axel.)
Does it matter what type of surface the robot spins on? Explain. Test your hypothesis.
What do you think would happen if you programmed the left and rights wheels to move in opposite directions at the same rate? At opposite rates? Program Dash and test it out. Were you correct in your predictions?

Task:  Complete Dash Puzzles 1-4

Reflection question:
Answer ALL 4 questions!
Question 1: (Dash The Snowman) If you could program your life, what series of actions do you enjoy so much that you'd like to loop them to Repeat Forever? What might be the consequences? What chore could be made easier with a loop? Explain.

Question 2: (Interrupting Robot) If you were to program Dash to navigate through a maze, which type of Wait for cue would work best: clap, pick up, hear voice, obstacle in front? Explain why.

Question 3: (Dash Planet  X) What would happen if you deleted all of the Wait for blocks? How does that affect the program?

Question 4: (Police Officer Dash) What did you find to be the most difficult part of the Police Officer Dash puzzle? What strategy did you use to complete it?
