Space Rescue

In this Space Rescue episode, Root is called to help save some friends lost in orbit. Finish the story by coding a celebratory dance and complete the rescue mission! This episode incorporates sensors including Root's color scanner.

Our Finish the Story series provides a visual prompt for learners to identify a problem and communicate their responses with code. Not only are students refining their listening and problem solving skills, they're also strengthening their skills in programming and coding!
