IDEA Club, Mission 6: Frankie the Cat


Lets see Frankie in action. This is just a small sampling of what you can do with this kit. 


You can do more complex or simpler programming, make it behave realistically or be funny and make Frankie burp and fart! Using the Lego Boost app on a smart device the build and coding are broken down into manageable segments. Assembly is the same user-friendly build style you're used to in paper form. Then, coding segments are interspersed throughout. Once complete you have the option to map your own coding in a "Scratch-like" sandbox mode. The possibilities are limitless!!!

This is our last Lego Boost mission. However, we do still have a few more missions coming up so watch this blog and our social media for updates.
