Block Code: Designed to be displayed digitally and printed for student use. This resource complements the Lesson Slides and Teaching Guide - Ultrasound Spy Robots (linked below) Landscape cards to display for students showing the completed block code to match the Tinkercad simulation for this project. Additionally, there are cut-and-paste block code elements that can be used as a screen-free activity as students learn about coding and the specific programming that has been written for this proje

Component Placemats: Designed to be displayed digitally and for student use. This resource complements the Lesson Slides and Teaching Guide - Ultrasound Spy Robots (linked below) Landscape cards to display for students providing visuals for the components required. There is a coloured copy for digital display and a print-friendly version for student use. This could be used as a labelling activity, helping students familiarise themselves with the electrical components, as well as a cut-and-paste
