On the 20th April, we were introduced to Crumble. We were first shown how to connect the parts using the wires to ensure Crumble worked.

During this time, Alice and I explored the programme through trial and error. Crumble is very similar to the programme Scratch. Therefore, I felt experienced and able to experiment with different instructions.

We discovered how to programme two LED lights while exploring the different instructions. We found we need to use ‘0’ for the first light and ‘1’ for the second light.

We also noticed that we needed to ensure the seconds between the lights were long enough so we could see them change. For example if we did not put a 2 second pause after the last colour change, we would not see it go back to the first colour when on a loop.

This exploring showed possible problems children would also face when learning how to use Crumble. If we had been shown how to avoid these mistakes beforehand, we may have not fully understood what caused the problems and how to debug them.
