Lesson 3: Conditionals - While loops

See this clip first. 

Scrub though the video - 

DO NOT SIT AND WATCH IN ONE SITTING IF YOU ALREADY KNOW IT! 

Pause the clip, complete some of the code and then screen shot what you have completed.

Coding with While Loops

This clip will guide you through the final part of lesson

While block is detected forward, destroy and move forward.

Build a bridge. While NOT block below, place block until reach land. 

Three part problem: Tower, repeats and ladders

1. Build a tower, left, front and right. Repeat 10 blocks high.

4. Move a block forward.

With a partner or team of three.

Final task. Save the bears and bring the cub together with its family by joining the center mini iceberg with bridges using while loops.
