Lesson: EV3 - My Blocks with Parameters

Overview: 
The goal of this lesson is to learn how to make custom functions (My Blocks) in the EV3 software with parameters (inputs and outputs). Students will learn when a My Block is useful. Students will also learn the step-by-step process of creating a My Block including how to set all the parameters.
Objectives: 

Students will be able to:

  1. Explain the purpose of a My Block
  2. Explain how parameters make My Blocks more useful and EV3-G more efficient
  3. Create a My Block with parameters
  4. Use a parameterized My Block in an EV3-G program
