Create your own solar panel prototype in 3 main steps:

icons of 3 building blocks (cube, corner connector, and short frame)

Step 1

Build the prototype with the Climate Action Kit.

Icons of code blocks.

Step 2

Add code to bring it to life.

Icons of a thought bubble with building block cubes and the wind turbine project spinning

Step 3

Test out the prototype to learn how it works.

SUCCESS CRITERIA

I can:

  • build a solar panel prototype with the Climate Action Kit
  • use the MakeCode simulators to explain how the solar sensor and positional servo motor work
  • describe how to use events to change the position of my solar panels at different times of day
  • decide where to put a solar panel on my building based on my understanding of how the sun appears to move across the sky
