25. Computer Craft
26. Computing without computers! The song 10 green bottles is a great example of a song you can model using a flow chart. “X green bottles hanging on a wall” x 2 If 1 green bottle should accidentally fall, there’d be X – 1 green bottles hanging on a wall Until there was only 1 left and then: If 1 green bottle should accidentally fall, there’d be no green bottles hanging on a wall
27. Text-Based Programming
28. Artificial Intelligence
29. Artificial Intelligence • Not just about coding! History of Computing - Turing • Fun way to get children thinking about logical expressions • Open-ended task allows children to experiment with sequence and selection
30. Future of creative computing? • Scratch-like commands • Web-based interface • Potential link within Hwb+
