The purpose of this project was to show 7th and 8th grade students how to program an interactive Conjugation Machine for regular Spanish verbs. Students had varying degrees of programming experience from none to a lot. The project involved creating a microworld (the truly new awesome feature of Snap! 7.0) so that students only had the blocks needed to create the machine. Programming concepts included variables, conditionals, lists, mapping, functions making blocks and sequencing. The implementation of the project involved a series of questions as steps that lead to the programming of small solutions until the entire program is built. Interactivity with a sprite to click on is added at the end or beginning depending on the group of students. Please email me if you have questions, comments or ideas. bkahn@bwscampus.com
