So, we've all heard of Digital Technologies... but what about when we they go 'Unplugged'?!Today in Koka Ngaire's L4 Maths Strand group - we did exactly that!
Our goal: to rescue Derek
Why: to learn about coding (writing sequential instructions) and positionHow? we had a bot, a programmer and a tester.
The bot: listens to and follows instructions exactly. Does not say anything
The programmer: writes the instructions. Can not say anything while the instructions are being given.
The tester: takes the instructions and gives them to the bot. Checks for 'bugs' in the programme.
We thought we were pretty good at giving instructions.... UNTIL we had to give them to the tester!! We then found out that one little 'bug' can stop the whole programme from running.
However, after lots of 'fixes'.... Derek was definitely rescued!
