Watch the video to find out what happens to Root in space! Use the whiteboard grid to finish the story!
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!
