Coding with Beebots @RRIS

This half term the Digital Leaders have been leading sessions writing algorithms for Beebots. They have been using direction cards to write out the algorithm before keying this into the Beebot. As the Beebot moves they have been checking that the algorithm is correct and identifying any place where there is a bug. They set each other challenges using the pathway mats, asking their partner to write an algorithm to get the Beebot from one place to another. They also made is more challenging by adding hot spots where the Beebot wasn’t allowed to go, or asking for the Beebot to travel the whole distance backwards! They also used the challenge cards which asked for algorithms to be written to make shapes and letters.
