This worksheet and video can be used by absolute beginners to coding. They use Picoh the Robot to code a guess the number game. The programming language is a block -based language based on Scratch. Once you have coded the game it's time to play it! The activities can be carried out using the virtual Picoh robot that is built into the software, but it’s much more fun to use a "real" Picoh. You could also dress up your robot so that he becomes the host of the game! Downloading the Picoh App -
