Learning Outcomes:

What you will learn with this exercise are the building blocks of coding & problem solving!

• Algorithm ( Step by step instructions )
• Sequence ( Must be in order )
• Specific Instructions ( must be exact )
• Testing & Failing ( Learning from mistakes )
• Debugging ( Finding & fixing the problem )

Unplugged Challenge 1. Robot To The Door

Challenge One: Your first task is to get a robot, who does not know anything over to a door. Find a partner to be the robot. Give the robot instructions, only use: move forward( # of steps ), backward( # of steps ), turn right, turn left. Count how many times you made mistakes or mis judged the number of steps. Then do it again and see how much you improved.

Unplugged Challenge 2. Bee 2 The Beehive

Challenge Two: Your second task is to write out a list of instructions for the bee shown below so it can collect the three flowers and enter the beehive.

Once you have written these instructions get a tutor to test it and see if the instructions work correctly.

If you are between ages 5 and 8 use turn left and turn right, if you are older you need to use degrees as a way to rotate for an extra challenge (for example 90 °)
