Coding at Hogwarts
On Halloween, in conjunction with our celebrating
Hogwarts at Saint David’s, the Second Grade wizards-
in-training had an exciting “Care of Magical (Robotics)
Creatures” class. As a culmination of a unit of robotics
coding using the Blockly app to code Dash and Dot robots,
the boys were tasked with building code that would allow
a Dash robot to interact safely with one of three magical
creatures from the world of Hogwarts.
