Your challengeEdit at least two tiles, place two samples, run three distinct tests, and finish with a successful loop-and-decision program.

Build your program

Select an insertion slot, then choose a block. Use Up, Down, or Remove to edit.

    How to play & hint

    The starter route goes east along the bottom, then north. Add two safe side tiles, keep two reachable samples, and test short then longer repeat counts.

    Camera rotation does not change the robot’s heading. Turns stay on the same tile. Reset returns the robot to its start; your program stays editable.

    These are custom Scratch-inspired simulation blocks. This site does not run Scratch projects or control physical hardware.

    Explain your thinking

    What evidence supports your claim that the final mission design works?

    Predict → build → test → explain → revise. Swap driver and navigator roles after a test.
