This will be our last week coding with Awbie. This week we will be learning about using the repeat function.

Use the Repeat Block to “loop” your code. A loop is when a sequence of commands is repeated, and is another key concept in computational thinking.

This week we will be learning about using the conditional function.

The gray Caution Block will prevent Awbie from hitting an obstacle. By attaching the Caution Block to a command and attaching alternate commands under the Caution Block.

This week we will learn about Quantifiers and Sequencing as we continue to code with Awbie.

The Quantifiers are the yellow number blocks. If you attach a quantifier to a command verb (Walk, Jump, or Hand), Awbie will repeat the action X times. Quantifiers range from 1 to 5.

Sequencing is when you connect two or more blocks together. When you start using multiple blocks in a sequence, you begin an important step towards a key computational concept, sequencing. Awbie walks faster when you sequence.
