Sample Question: Here’s a sample question: The Apple moves up on the screen instead of falling down at the Basket. This is what the kids need to solve. This will test their understanding of the code, the concept of the X & Y coordinate system, and also the effect of positive and negative Y-values. (this is an example - Exact questions will be adjusted for Age based categories)
