Enhance, Debug, and Share Projects

In this capstone unit students consolidate visual coding skills to build, refine, and publish interactive animated toys and scenes. Lessons focus on creating clone behaviors, implementing loops and functions, controlling position and movement, testing and debugging, and preparing projects for sharing and presentation.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze program behavior using systematic testing and debugging strategies to identify, isolate, and fix errors in MakeCode/visual code projects
• Apply control structures such as repeat loops, cloning, and custom blocks (functions) to create reusable behaviors like explosions and repeated movements
• Demonstrate the use of sprite positioning, direction, and movement blocks to design dynamic animated scenes and interactive toys
• Evaluate project readiness and effectively save, document, and share completed programs with an audience, incorporating feedback for iterative improvement
