​Introduce the key computational concepts of variables and iteration using Edison
robots and the Scratch-based programming language EdScratch. Variables, which
can be created and utilised through the special ‘Data’ category in EdScratch, are
introduced and then explored in this lesson. The concept of using maths in
programming, and the practice of tracing code are also explored and practised.

This 1-hour lesson is designed to allow students to work independently as they discover:

  • Variables and iteration
  • Code tracing
  • Computations in programs

Celebrate student success!

Recognise your students’ achievements in taking on an Hour of Code challenge with Edison robots by presenting them with a certificate of completion.

Heads up

The Australian Federal Parliament has passed a law that extends goods and services tax (GST) to low value imports of physical goods imported by consumers from 1 July 2018.

This means that all customers purchasing Edison robots and accessories with an Australian shipping address must now pay GST. The GST will be automatically added to your purchase and show as a line item on your invoice.

We've detected that you are in Australia, so we wanted to let you know that we have changed your settings to view our Australian site, which displays GST inclusive pricing.
