About Activity
This activity celebrates the World of Wearable Art annual design competition by prompting students to join in the fun by designing and adorning their bots in a spectacular show of their own!
Learners will use available craft supplies to create stunning ‘costumes’ of wearable art for their bots. Then, they will write simple programs using a sequence of directional instructions to get their bots to travel down and back the catwalk grid, parading their marvelous designs for all to see!
