About Activity

This session has students create a program with Scratch that uses video sensing code blocks to move a sprite using gestures captured on a camera video feed.

Ākonga will create two control sprites, a Left and Right arrow, to action movements of the main character sprite by detecting motion on camera that is sensed moving over the controls.
