Well ... a few of us have managed to conquer this very challenging project. However, it dated more of the class than was expected. In retrospect, perhaps it was too early for us to try something as complicated.
It certainly sparked the students' interest ... but many of them struggled to keep track of the steps and lacked the persistence to problem-solve when their instruction (that is, their script) didn't work.
So, what's next? A colleague shared with me a link to an Hour of Code project using Minecraft. I think this might be an achievable project for the group. When I mentioned this project to the students, several heads jerked up and eyes went wide. They appeared to be quite excited. Follow the link above to the project ... it's worth exploring.
Speaking of the Hour of Code ... s simple search on YouTube reveals some great Hopscotch Hour of Code projects. Check these out too: Hour of Code projects using Hopscotch. Enjoy.
