This document summarizes a physical session that included various team-building and programming activities: 1. The session started with an icebreaker where participants shared facts about themselves and had to guess which one was false. 2. They then learned tips for problem-solving and completed a challenge to program a simple calculator app using block-based coding. 3. In the second half of the session, participants worked on tasks involving text-based coding in RoboMind to complete maps and navigate a robot through mazes, applying programming concepts.

8. Team CHALLENGE #1
Math Wizard – Block-Based Coding
Tools:
1- Computers or laptops
2- Timer or stopwatch
3- Score play to display score for all teams
4- Blockly online platform
5- Paper and pens
Duration: 40 min

9. Challenge Overview
Create a simple calculator app
using Blockly that can perform
basic arithmetic operations and
comparisons between two
numbers.

10. Challenge Tip
Before you start, here is a tip that will
help you through this challenge!
You will need to learn how to prompt a
message for the user to enter an input.
Let’s do it together!

11. Challenge Tip
First, create a variable and
give it a name to store the
input data.

12. Challenge Tip
Second, to prompt a message that
gets the user's answer, we use
this block.

13. Challenge Tip
Then, drag the set variable block
to store the value input by the
user in it.

14. Challenge Tip
Test your code and hit RUN.
You should get a prompt message!

15. Algorithm Design
Break down the steps involved in the
algorithm, including input, variable
initialization, conditional statements,
and output.

16. Programming
 Use Blockly to initialize variables for storing the two input numbers and the operator.
 Use Blockly to create input blocks that allow users to enter numerical values and select
an operator.
 Use if-else statements to check the selected operator and perform the
corresponding operation.
 Use Blockly's print function to display the result of the arithmetic operation
or comparison.
 Test the calculator app by inputting different numbers and operators.

17. TEAM PRESENTATIONS
Present your idea and the
algorithm you used to program
the calculator.

18. Review and Recap
Introduction to Programming & Block-Based Coding
Tools: Markers
Countdown timer Whiteboard
Duration: 10 min

19. Let's have a look at what we have
learned about block-based programming!
 Programming languages and comparison among types
of programming languages
 Compiler vs. interpreter
 What is the difference between programming types
(Block-Based Programming & Text-Based Programming)?
 Block-based coding definition and Blockly definition
 Programming concepts definition (variables - loops - if else)
