SCRATCH CODING KIT
Variables based coding activity
Why are variables important?
Making Variables
Without variables, there is no way for computers to ‘remember’ something.
If, you are not able to remember the simple things, then your life will be very limited. Giving your robot the ability
to remember is more complicated, but also interactive. Most importantly, it opens up the opportunity for more
interesting designs.
Now let’s use variables in the scratch.
To make variables, you must click on the variable tab and click “Create Variables”.
Then, you can see the pop-up window show up. This pop-up window is where you decide the name
of the variable. Input your new variable name as “counter.” Input “counter” in the input window and
press (OK).
