Team Badge Design

Activity/Lesson Key Information

We could use Matatalab to draw different shapes: squares, triangles, pentagrams, circles (Animation Add-on), etc. Based on these shapes, we can design different badges. Let’s design our team badges together!

Team Badge design

After understanding the definition of the team badge, students start to work out a concept of their team badge, and then use Matatalab to draw the badge and describe the concept to the class.

• Use Matatalab Coding Set/Pro set, Animation Add-on to draw their badge.
• Discuss and coordinate effectively among their team, working together to finish the design.
• Display their finished badge and describe the concept of their design in front of the class.

• Code: Set of specific directions or instructions sent to and used by a computer.
• Sequence: An arrangement of instructions to be followed in a particular order.
• Robot: A machine capable of carrying out a complex set of instructions as programmed by a 
• computer.

• Command: instructions given to a computer or robot
• Badge: A badge is a device or accessory, often containing the insignia of an organization, job or honor, or as a simple means of identification, the badge in this activity can be an identification of study team.

Students need to know how to use Matatalab Coding Set + Artist Add (Pro Set) or Animation Add-on to draw graphics.
