Coding the Bard: An Instructional Unit
Coding and storytelling go hand in hand. Using a scene from William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, students will work in collaborative groups to stage a short production with Sphero robots as thespians. Students will create the characters who appear in their scene by “costuming” the Sphero robots. They will create mini-sets for their scenes with various makerspace materials. The students will then use draw, coding and colors to create the character’s blocking (movement and emotion) as they ac
