In secondary school, it is attractive to apply various programming techniques to make art by using code. The students use a visual programming language like scratch or starlogo or a text-based language like other versions of logo. They search and learn how to draw
a star, then draw many coloured stars in various distances, sizes and finally colour the heaven. The students collaborate in groups of 2 or 3, each
group in one pc. They are actively engaged in the stars drawing. They start with the basic commands that will be used, they explore, write and test the code, asking the teacher for guidance and support whenever they need it, and they have to give feedback to the other groups.
