1. Fashion Walk Intro

Hey and welcome to Day 2 of CS First Fashion and Design! Today you will create a fashion show while you learn about an important computer science concept called loops. A “loop,” or iteration, repeats a set of instructions over and over. In Scratch, “repeat” and “forever” blocks are types of loops. Any blocks you place inside a loop will repeat a specified number of times or forever. Check out this example of a loop in computer science.

iLuminate lights are attached to dancers’ costumes and controlled wirelessly to match the music and choreography. In the video, the lights on the costumes flash to match the music and the movements of the dancers. Computer code controls the lights using loops. Today, you will use loops to create a fashion walk project. In this project, the user will be able to click on a sprite and pick a favorite costume.
