Yesterday we did an unplugged activity. There were patterns and each partner had to program it on a piece of paper for the other partner to follow. They had to draw the pattern on a graph. Today we made up robots and drew them on paper. Everyone came up with a different name, a purpose, and how tall their robots are. This helped us understand how variables work when programming. What is a variable? It is a placeholder for a piece of information that may change. This week was so fun.
