Code The Lumies

- Algorithm, Instruction -

Introduction

The energy connections between the Coders are very important. Look at which point in the energy flow an error occurs and fix it by changing the position of the Coders. From the inscriptions at the bottom, arrange an algorithm for repair, according to which the Coders will rotate or move. Programming the Coders' repair using an algorithm is the only way to save the entire system. A specific instruction for the repair is full information for the Coders, telling them what and how to do in order. You can change the order of steps in the algorithm by stomping.

Conversation Inspirations with Children

Talk to students about known life situations or examples from their immediate environment in which they use or may encounter the concept mentioned:

  • What devices at home have coded programs inside?:
  • washing machine, dishwasher, thermomix have a list of built-in programs for washing, dishwashing, or baking a cake. When we run a program, the device follows the coded algorithm and performs the assigned tasks in order.
  • assembly instructions for a bookshelf, received in a collection with boards and screws;
  • folding origami - only by folding according to the instructions will we get the expected effect;

What is an algorithm?

An algorithm is a description of the steps to solve a given problem or a way to achieve a certain goal. Algorithms in programming can be very complex, built from many parts of code and use, for example, design patterns. The concept comes from mathematics and computer science - the first algorithm is considered to be the Euclidean algorithm, given over 2300 years ago.
