Junior Jam has us all going around the twist this week. We were learning all about algorithms. We learnt that algorithms are sets of instructions that are given to computers. Mr. Thompson showed us amazing video clips of people solving rubiks cubes in seconds by following set algorithms. Our times were a little slower - but we're getting there!
The class then put their algorithm writing skills into action using an app called 'Lite Bot'. The children had to give sets of instructions to the robot to steer him through courses that increased in difficulty. Miss King, due to her issues with left and right, found it particularly tricky!
The children worked in teams to solve the problems which were very challenging.
