Block 8 Computing

What is an algorithm?

• A specific, clear instruction

• A bee bot

• A really long word

• A computer

The beebot starts at the palm tree (facing North). What is the program for the beebot to get to the bridge?

• Go forward 2 steps

• Turn right, go forward 1 step

• Turn left, go forward 1 step

• Turn right

If the program on the beebot is wrong, how do we correct it?

• Cry and get frustrated

• Press X (clear) and start again

• Program the correct instruction

• Tell a teacher

For your own beebot mat, what should you design in a square?

• A picture to match your theme.

• A beebot

• Nothing

• A computer

Why is it important to have the correct order when programming a beebot?

• The beebot likes order

• It's not important

• You need to know your left and right

• Because the instructions need to specific otherwise the program will be wrong
