Teaching Point:

---

Today we will learn how to use buttons. We will also learn how to change the way our character looks.

Controlling our App with Buttons

---

We can use blocks to make the app do something in a certain order when we start it up, but we can also use blocks to make the app do something when the person using the app presses a button. We can use any button we want. The code for this is in the Control Menu, just like the repeat blocks.

Changing the Way our Character Looks

---

There are effects in the looks menu that we can use to change the way our character looks.

Today's Assignment
