Pencil code program: Lady MacBeth Chat Bot
Use this program to create an interactive chat bot who answers questions as if she is Lady Macbeth. Have students analyse, fill in or change parts of, or use the program to create their own variation and rendition of a character. This program could be used to further your understanding of how you could use Pencil Code in the classroom, as a demonstration or discussion with your students, or as a way to introduce various CT concepts, such as pattern recognition or abstraction, to your students by inviting them to extend the existing functionality of the program.
