Smart communities
In this unit, students explore how people can incorporate computing and technology into their surroundings in a way that is responsive to the needs of their community. Students will incorporate loops, conditional statements, user inputs, and sensing blocks to program simulations of responsive systems such as traffic lights and streetlights. They will then consider a problem in their community and prototype a potential solution.
