What is an algorithm?

• a set of instructions given to a computer

• the study of computers and algorithms, and their impact on society

• list of steps in a particular order that describe how to complete a task

• language which can be understood by a computer

What is growth mindset?

• a set of instructions given to a computer

• the study of computers and algorithms, and their impact on society

• the belief that you can get better at something through hard work and practice

What is pair programming?

• a set of instructions given to a computer

• the study of computers and algorithms, and their impact on society

• the belief that you can get better at something through hard work and practice

• a programming technique in whic two programmers, a driver and a navigator, work together on one problem

In pair programming, who is the driver?

• a set of instructions given to a computer

• the programmer who controls
  the actions of the computer

• the belief that you can get better at something through hard work and practice

• a programming technique in whic two programmers, a driver and a navigator, work together on one problem

In pair programming, who is the navigator?

• 
  the programmer who helps
  the driver, thinks about the big picture,
  and offers suggestions

  
  

• the programmer who controls
  the actions of the computer

• the belief that you can get better at something through hard work and practice

• a programming technique in which two programmers, a driver and a navigator, work together on one problem

In Scratch, what is a sprite?

• 
  the programmer who helps
  the driver, thinks about the big picture,
  and offers suggestions

  
  

• the programmer who controls
  the actions of the computer

• a character or
  object we control
  with code

• a programming technique in whic two programmers, a driver and a navigator, work together on one problem

In Scratch, what are blocks?

• 
  the programmer who helps
  the driver, thinks about the big picture,
  and offers suggestions

  
  

• the programmer who controls
  the actions of the computer

• a character or
  object we control
  with code

• single instructions for a sprite
  which can be dragged and snapped together
