SPIKE™ Prime with Python

Compound Conditionals and Logic Operators

In this unit, students will explore how to program conditional statements and logic operators. They will develop an understanding for when to use conditional statements and logic operators as they create different prototypes utilizing both physical and digital safety measures. Students will incorporate their new knowledge and skills in a cybersecurity simulation.
