KS3 Computing – Self Paced Study Series

There are 5 lessons in this course which will guide you through the steps needed to learn about the programming needed to create your chatbot. Scroll down to open each lesson.

Each week, you should follow a similar pattern:

To start, you will need:

• A free account at www.scratch.mit.edu where you will write your code
• A pen & paper to take notes as you go (this is helpful, but not vital as you can return to the lessons at any time)

You should complete the lessons in order as each lesson will help you build your Chatbot project.

If you need help during your course, click on the blue question mark at the bottom right of your screen – this will let you send me a message. When you ask for help, it’s really useful to include:

• What problem you have found
• If you’re stuck, what have you tried so far?
• If you’re having technical issues, what device you are using
