Project 8 CS50S

by James Robson Projects

CS50S Assignment 8 was to revise one of the previous projects you’ve already created. Find some sequence of blocks that you used multiple times, and organize them into a custom block.

Custom blocks were added to Abby’s character.

Addition features are also added, such as declining the sale if insufficient funds exist.

This is a sim-type game that could be used for financial literacy. It is only very basic but has the potential to be developed further.

Recently completed HarvardX CS50S

by James Robson Attainments

An introduction to programming using Scratch, a visual programming language. Used at the start of Harvard College’s introductory course in computer science, CS50.

CS50S introduces students to fundamentals of programming, found not only in Scratch itself but in traditional text-based languages (like Java and Python) as well. Topics include: functions, which are instructions that perform tasks; return values, which are results that functions provide; conditions, via which programs can decide whether or not to perform some action; loops, via which programs can take action again and again; variables, via which programs can remember information; and more.

CS50S consists of nine projects and can be accessed via edX, edX is the online learning platform from world-leading digital education company 2U, Inc. edX was founded by Harvard and MIT as an experiment to make the world’s best education available to everyone.

Esther Alcock (Deputy Principal) spoke very highly of Meghan and the way she is able to make connections with the young tamariki in Room 1. They were very excited to be exploring their theme of Space using ScratchJr.
