February Themed Code and Go Challenges

Read Aloud

For K and 1

For Grade 2

Today, we are going to be Programmers and program our robots to achieve their challenges (missions).

We Can:

Understand the challenge
Collaborate with my teammates
Develop a plan
Use code cards

Code the algorithm into the robot
Test the code
Debug error code
Reflect on outcomes

Robot

A robot is a machine that is built to perform a certain job. They are programmed by people to be able to perform a task.

Code

using a set of instructions to communicate with computers and robots. There are different coding languages and they all have different rules and uses, but they all give computers instructions on how to do specific tasks.

Coding Cards

Programmer

a person that writes the code

Today, that is YOU!

Algorithm

a list of step by step instruction that you program into the computer in the correct order

Bug

error in your code

Debug your Code

To fix your code

Reviewing our Code and Go Robots

The "Go" Button activates your code - which means it tests your code.

STATION ROLES

******Remember to switch roles at different stations!!!***
