Graphing Algorithm

In this challenge we will write several procedures to graph different mathematical equations on screen using Python Turtle. We will focus on: Linear equations: y = ax + b Quadratic equations: y = ax2 + bx + c Trigonometric functions:…

3D Printing – Name Badge

One application of programming is to control 3D printers to create 3D models. Using a Block programming language you can create your own 3D models and export them in a format recognised by 3D Printers. In this blog you will…

3D Staircase Challenge

In this challenge you will use http://www.beetleblocks.com/ to create some 3D models to represent different types of staircases. I will use iteration (for loops) to make your code more effective and investigate the use of (x,y,z) coordinates to create your…

Space Exploration – 3D Models

Computer code can be used to create 2D or 3D graphics. The code used to create these graphics can then be used by 3D printers to create objects. In this challenge we will use block programming to create a 3D…

Water Polo Challenge

In this challenge you are going to use Python code to score a goal in a game of Water Polo. To do so you will use the code given below. You will pass the ball from one player to another…

Football Formation

The purpose of this challenge is to understand how subroutines (functions/procedures) are used in Python to create sections of code that can be called/reused many times within a program. Subroutines mean that a section of code can be identified using…
