Storytelling the travel in the Universe.
Questions
- Did you realize that the degree block you used was not the angle degree inside the shape?
- If you have changed “turn left” and “turn right” in your program, would you have a same graphic?
- Do you have more fun with those drawings?
- If you want to travel in the universe, do you want to drive a MatataBot or other spaceship?
