Time for a challenge

Now, it's time to test your learning! Read the following problem statement twice:

P1: Code your tabletop fan to move this way at 80 percent power for 5 seconds, then move this way at 50 percent power for 5 seconds, and then stop!

Problem fragmentation:

P2: Code your tabletop fan to move that way at 70 percent power for 6 seconds, then move that way at 30 percent power for 3 seconds, and then stop!

Problem fragmentation:

Use your imagination and use the sound and display blocks creatively to make your project more interactive and fun! For example, you can display the power that your tabletop fan is currently moving at, use sound blocks that replicate the humming sound of a fan, or anything of your choice!

Tip

You can find the display and sound blocks in the looks and sound programming pallets, respectively.

Remember that the sky is the limit due to the tools and the coding platform that you have at your disposal.

Fun Fact

Did you know that the tabletop fan was invented by Schuyler Skaats Wheeler in 1882?
