AN EXAMPLE LEARNER STRATEGY“Hey Spark, let's keep the wall on our right. Turn right whenever there's an opening; otherwise go straight. If both ways are blocked, turn left and check again. Stop at the flag.”

Sensing + decisions + loopsStrategy demonstration

Right side: open.

1 square = 25 cm

YOUR PLAN COMES FIRST.

Test the plan. Then code it.

Watch the robot check each opening and choose a turn. Then turn those choices into conditions and a loop.

Your strategy. Three ways to write it.

Now make it your own.

What would change if you kept the wall on your left instead?
