An annual end of term tradition, this year’s whole School Baton Race was won by Holdgate for Seniors, Founder’s for Inters and Lambe’s for the Juniors. In time honoured fashion, winning Houses were presented with their trophies by the youngest members of the SVS community. 🏃🏽♀️ https://t.co/5Ag0X9o3FF
In this week’s Coding Club, we decided to use the new webcams, which have been installed for our online Chinese Mandarin language lessons. We discovered we could program the cameras to interact with Scratch and make a simple game where we had to catch bats using motion detection from the camera and waving our hands.
Initially, it was quite complicated working out our variables and adjusting the light levels to improve detection, but once we understood how to increase the challenge (by adding more bats after each wave), we had great fun testing it and beating each other’s scores!
