Relay Programming

Mrs J Pollard —

The Year 3 and 4 classes enjoyed relay programming during Digital technology time. This unplugged activity demonstrates programming under pressure and how, sometimes, we can make mistakes. We can 'debug' our errors (identify and remove) to complete our code.

 Students run a relay rac, where they dash across the yard to write an algorithm based on a "Graph Paper Programming" image. They can only write one instruction at a time and if there's an error somewhere, they have to erase everything back to that point.
