Computational Thinking PO2
This coding activity can be completed using using Tynker
This activity has been designed to be used with Mambo Drones, which are designed to be used indoors. These drones can be used outside, but even a very light breeze can push them off course. This activity is a positional activity and also uses scale, the first task the students have to work out is the time/distance ratio to enable them to accurately travel between targets. If you have never connected a drone via the Tynker app on your tablet before, at the end of the suggested activities there is a series of screen shots to show you how to connect your Mambo drone via the Tynker app.
If you have not used Tynker before then these tutorials may be of use to you. The lessons illustrated here also apply to the blocks in Scratch and as such will work on Scratch too, but only Tynker can be used to code the Mambo drones via a tablet.
