On Wednesday the 22nd of March myself and Ryan gathered some audience feedback from our target audience. This week we managed to get 8 of the children to play our coding game and we will hopefully get some more this coming Wednesday, this time playing the second level if we can complete it in time!
We both took turns in explaining the game to the children and after that, we left them to play the game, some understood the game pretty well; whereas some required a little more guidance. This helped us a lot in making sure that we are precise with our explanation on how the game works etc (instruction screen perhaps). The first child understood that the “door.locked = True” meant the door was locked and to change that they needed to make the “True” section “False” and to do that he used the drag and drop feature which they were familiar with when using Scratch. Follow on from the drag and drop feature, when asked one of them said they were happy with the drag and drop which is what they have been learning and from this we gathered that if we inputted a typing feature they may struggle and they usually have all the code in front of them rather then writing/typing it.
