STEAM - TERM 3
- Coding (Snap4Arduino) and Arduino Boards
In Term 3, the students have been continuing their STEAM learning using the STEAM Electronics kits. They have been learning how to block code using the program Snap4Arduino. The purpose of this learning has been for the students to control one or more LED lights on an electronic arduino board using code. Each week the coding expectation increased and the students showed perseverance in achieving successful outcomes!
Learning Goal 1. To make an LED blink off/on by controlling voltage from 0V to 5V by programming the Arduino.
Learning Goal 2. To change the speed of blinking to such a high rate that the LED appears to be dimmer.
Learning Goal 3. To make the LED fade on and off by varying the voltage
2018 - Term 3 STEAM - ‘Coding and Arduino Boards’ Reflective Questions
1.What was I learning and why?
I was learning to make more than one LED light flash on and off so that i can control
one or more LED on an arduino board using code.
Use technology more because there is a lot of it in the world.
2.What did I do well and how do I know?
Help my partner because my partner said that I was really helping her to understand what to do.
3.What challenged me ……?
Get up to two LEDs to blink or flash on and off without getting frustrated.
4.What would I do differently next time to make my learning more successful ….. ?
Read the instructions and not just look at the photos in the booklets
5.What have I enjoyed about the learning?
It is new learning and fun but also a bit challenging at times.
I got to learn about something that i never would have understood before.
