Coders review and apply a variety of blocks and sprites to animate a multi-page project about talking animals. The purpose of this project is to review using the message blocks with multiple sprites and pages.
Coders revisit a previously created project about outer space to add a short story about travelling to outer space. The purpose of this project is to apply newly acquired understandings to a prior project.
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to animate multiple jokes. The purpose of this project is to reinforce understandings of storyboarding multiple pages and applying prior understandings into a project of interest.
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create a multi-page story about a stinky robot. The purpose of this project is to apply previous understandings across multiple pages.
Coders use a variety of blocks and sprites to create a multi-page story about a day at the beach. The purpose of this project is to introduce multiple ways to have a sprite appear to switch costumes.
Coders revisit a previously created project about a dance party to add a short story about travelling to the dance party. The purpose of this project is to apply newly acquired understandings to a prior project.
Coders engage in a multi-day project where they create the introduction to a short story and then pass their project on to be finished by their peers. The purpose of this project is to encourage young coders to communicate and learn from their peers.
Using Bezier curves we can get smooth motion between keyframes.
Now we are ready to calculate an intersection point using our ray CP (parametric form) and our line AB (slope-intercept form).
Now that we have a feeling for constructing permutations let's introduce the factorial formula to make counting them easy.
In this video we'll uncover the connection between the previous diagram and the rotation formulas. Repeat viewing suggested!
Let's apply what we just learned to calculate the touching point.
Today we’re going to discuss how 3D graphics are created and then rendered for a 2D screen. From polygon count and meshes, to lighting and texturing, there are a lot of considerations in building the 3D objects we see in our movies and video games, but then displaying these 3D objects of a 2D surface adds an additional number of challenges. So we’ll talk about some of the reasons you see occasional glitches in your video games as well as the reason a dedicated graphics processing unit, or GPU, was needed to meet the increasing demand for more and more complex graphics.
This workshop covers the basics of 3D modelling in Processing. From the 3D coordinate system, placing different shapes, surfaces, and camera angles. This introductory workshop is suitable for all students with some basic Processing knowledge. We assume that you are familiar with 2D shapes in Processing, including pushMatrix, rotate and translate. This workshop will only cover basics, sufficient to create a landscape with 3D objects and a moving object.
Step by step instructions to print numbered dice for games using a 3D printer and TinkerCad design.
Create a 3D printed lantern in 20 steps.
Design and create your own custom, 3D printed zipper pull! This project utilizes Tinkercad and some simple tools.
Students learn how 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is revolutionizing the manufacturing process. First, students learn what considerations to make in the engineering design process to print an object with quality and to scale. Students learn the basic principles of how a computer-aided design (CAD) model is converted to a series of data points then turned into a program that operates the 3D printer. The activity takes students through a step-by-step process on how a computer can control a manufacturing process through defined data points. Within this activity, students also learn how to program using basic G-code to create a wireframe 3D shapes that can be read by a 3D printer or computer numerical control (CNC) machine.
Coders use the start on green flag block to create a silly dance party using motion blocks. The purpose of this project is to introduce young coders to adding sprites in code and triggering algorithms with the green flag in ScratchJr.
We can use de Casteljau's algorithm to calculate curves using any number of points.
