How to Program
Arrival

• Student can work on the maze or free build

Pseudocode lesson

• Or web presentation link to present as a web page (click to advance)
• Printable pdf of slides of presentation

Challenge: Pseudocode instructions for simple task

• Printable Simple Pseudocode Sheet

Mini-Challenge: Pseudocode “human robot” travel around obstacle

1. Students write instructions on pseudocode sheet
2. Students then verbally give “programming commands” to adult to navigate around obstacle
3. Adult should be very particular about following the commands literally
4. Teaches the student to be careful when planning pseudocode for programs

Encourage students to use pseudocode for missions
​
​​Challenge: Complete a Maze on table or floor

Friday

Challenge: Build and compete with a Sumo Bot

Rules for Sumo:

1. Bots have a 5 second delay to let operators get out of the way and ensure a fair start. Matches last only 60 seconds.
2. Bots start facing opposite directions and must have first move block going forward.
3. Bots try to push opponent off of the table or disable other bot. Offensive and defensive attachments are allowed.
4. Players may not touch the bots after the match begins, and referees will remove loose pieces from the table if necessary.
5. If the bots are both disabled or "stuck together" with no progress, the match will be paused and resume with bots reset on the table facing away from each other.
