This is the second block of the Light section. It allows us to draw something in the 5x5 pixel matrix of the controller display.
The block has one setting we care about, and it looks like this:
In the menu that opens, the display pixels are indicated by the orange arrow, and we can draw by clicking on the pixels we want to color. At the bottom, there are two settings to light up and dim the entire display.
To the side, shown by the blue arrow, is a brightness setting. If you want dimmer pixels, you can lower the slider and raise it for brighter pixels.
While the robot is connected to the computer and the program is not stopped, the changes in the program image are also visible on the controller on the table in front of you. This allows us to experiment very easily!

Level A1 - Space Adventure - Robotics with LEGO SPIKE Prime
This is the first level of the LEGO Robotics Curriculum for second, third, and fourth-grade students.
A "space adventure" but with robots. Different robot structures are built in Level A1. The motors are controlled so that the robots perform precise movements around the "Earth", "Moon" and "Sun". We use the force sensor to overcome various obstacles we bump into. We learn interesting facts about the solar system and space vehicles.

Lesson 4 - First alien contact
Introduction
Today, we will program our scouting robot to show emotions and speak like a human. For this purpose, we will imagine that we are preparing to meet aliens on the planet Mars.
As of now, there is no conclusive evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial beings similar to humans elsewhere in space.
Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system and is quite similar to Earth. Scientists believe Mars could be inhabited by humans in the future. Currently, Mars has a very thin atmosphere and lacks liquid water. The planet is red due to the large amount of iron in the dust and rocks on the surface, and as we know, iron has a rusty red color.
