Create A Shakespearean Insult Generator With Python #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
Great lesson plan and tutorial for teaching algorithm using Raspberry Pi and Python to create a Shakespearean insult generator. via teachwithict
Learning Objectives:
Understand and use sequence in an algorithm
Understand and use iteration in an algorithm (FOR and WHILE loops)
Understand and use selection in an algorithm (IF, Else and Else if)
Understand and use data structures in an algorithm (for example, Lists, Tables or Arrays)
Curriculum Mapping:
KS2:
Design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals; solve problems by breaking them into smaller parts. Select, use and combine a variety of software on a range of digital devices to design and create a range of programs.
Use sequence, selection and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output
Use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work; detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs
KS3:
Use two or more programming languages, at least one of which is textual, to solve a variety of computational problems.
Make appropriate use of data structures [for example, lists, tables or arrays]; design and develop modular programs that use procedures or functions

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
