Use Root's marker holder for more than just drawing! Create your own bat costume and program Root to move its wings up and down!
This costume takes Root to the next level! Learn about the marker actuator as you code Root's wings to move up and down! What other costumes can you make that leverage the marker actuator?
Costume templates are a fun and engaging way to animate a lesson. Not only do students have an opportunity to personalize Root, but costumes can also help bring learning to life.
