Lesson 3- Translation:
(links: lesson, quiz)
This is the 3rd lesson of the term, introducing a new important concept in 'technology art': 'translation'. As opposed to 'transfer', where the artistic and technological focus is on the physical translation of images, 'transfer' concerns itself with conceptual ('instructional') translations. For this, the ideal focus is the 'instruction' concept of programming, which, over several lessons, will highlight a range of activities, from programming of graphics software and robots, to various methods of 'communicating' with robots in the physical world. Today we begin with the students leading a 'Scribbler Robot' to design an image of a 'family tree'.
