This is the last Skills Lab before your capstone project! You have learnt to code in Scratch, build web pages, train an AI and use AI wisely. Today you will show it at four challenge stations. Everything you prove today is a skill you can use in your capstone, and it counts towards your Gold Passport 🥇 on Demo Day.
The 3-minute check in the typing trainer. Record it below.
Pages 2–5, each with a brief and a time limit. Try it without the hints first.
Hand up when you finish. Your mentor ticks the checklist and initials it.
Go back to any station you didn't finish, with the hints. Then fill in Page 6.
| Typing check | Speed (wpm) | Accuracy (%) | Trainer stage reached |
|---|---|---|---|
| My Silver check (Skills Lab 4) | |||
| Today's check |
Gold target already met today? Yes Not yet: I need more wpm and more % accuracy by Demo Day.
| Station | Skill | Learnt in |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Build a game with a loop, a condition and a score | Sessions 36–37: Scratch |
| 2 | Build a one-page website or HTML page | Session 38: Build a Web Page |
| 3 | Train an AI with good examples and explain it | Session 39: What Is AI? |
| 4 | Fact-check AI answers and write a C.L.E.A.R. prompt | Session 40: Using AI Wisely & Safely |
⏱ Time limit: 25 minutes · 🧰 You need: Scratch (scratch.mit.edu or the Scratch app). Use any sprites from Scratch's library, for example the Apple (our mango) and the Bowl.
when green flag clicked
set [Score] to (0)
go to x: (0) y: (170)
forever
change y by (-5)
if <touching [Bowl]?> then
change [Score] by (1)
go to x: (pick random -200 to 200) y: (170)
end
if <(y position) < (-170)> then
go to x: (pick random -200 to 200) y: (170)
end
end
when green flag clicked
go to x: (0) y: (-140)
when [right arrow] key pressed
change x by (15)
when [left arrow] key pressed
change x by (-15)
First make the variable: Variables → Make a Variable → Score.
| Check | ✔ |
|---|---|
| The game starts with the green flag; the Score resets to 0 | |
| A loop (forever or repeat) makes the mango fall | |
| A condition (if … then) checks whether the basket caught it | |
| A Score variable goes up by 1 for each catch | |
| The arrow keys move the basket left and right; it starts at the bottom (x: 0, y: -140) | |
| A missed mango goes back to the top and falls again | |

Route A: Google Sites (Hub learning account). Route B: Notepad and a browser, and the MyWebPage folder with robot.jpg in it. Your mentor tells you which route.
1. sites.google.com → Blank site; name it Our Tech Club.
2. Click the page title and type the heading. Insert → Text box for the paragraph.
3. Insert → Images → Upload (from MyWebPage).
4. Select Try Scratch, press Ctrl + K, paste the address, Apply.
5. Preview 👁 on phone size, then Publish to the Hub only.

| A big heading: Our Tech Club | |
| A paragraph of 2–3 sentences about the club, with no spelling mistakes | |
| One allowed picture that shows correctly (no broken-picture icon) | |
| A working Try Scratch link that opens scratch.mit.edu | |

The Teach the Robot 3D lab on your session page (it works offline).
| Attempt | Plastic examples | Paper examples | Cans examples | Score (out of 5) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attempt 1 | ||||
| Attempt 2 | ||||
| Attempt 3 |
Why did 5 out of 5 work? Use the words training data and pattern.
What would happen if you taught it 6 Plastic examples and nothing else?
| Mentor check | ✔ |
|---|---|
| The lab shows 5 out of 5 (seen by the mentor) | |
| The explanation uses "training data" and "pattern" correctly | |
| The one-sided data answer is correct |
15 minutes
A trusted source: your textbooks or the encyclopedia at the station, or a trusted website (an official .gov.gh site, a museum or an encyclopedia) found with a search engine.
A pupil asked a chatbot five questions. Some answers are right; some are confident mistakes ("hallucinations"). Check each one in a trusted source.
| The AI said… | Right or wrong? | The correct fact | Source I used |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. "Lake Volta is a natural lake formed millions of years ago." | |||
| 2. "Water boils at 100 °C at sea level." | |||
| 3. "Saturn is the largest planet in our Solar System." | |||
| 4. "Ghana became independent on 6 March 1957." | |||
| 5. "An adult human skeleton has 32 bones." |
Rewrite it for a JHS pupil making a short class presentation about Ghanaian dishes. Include all five parts: Context, Limits, Examples and details, Ask one clear task, and say how you will Review the answer. No personal information!
How I will review (check) the answer:
| Mentor check | ✔ |
|---|---|
| All 5 answers marked correctly, with the right facts for the wrong ones | |
| A trusted source named for each answer | |
| The prompt has all five C.L.E.A.R. parts and no personal information |
| Station | Done | Re-try needed? | Time | Mentor initials |
