Year 8 Programming
As part of our Computing lessons, the Year 8 have been exercising their computer programming skills by modelling the Magic Eight Ball game in a range of different programming languages. The Magic Eight Ball program is quite simple - the user will ask a question and the program will pick a response, at random, from a list (this data structure is also called an array). The Year 8 students are attempting to solve this problem using Python, Scratch and AppInventor. We aim to prepare our students for the future by teaching them transferable skills, so that they can solve problems with a variety of different languages, rather than being an expert in just one.
