    1. Pseudocoding involves creating physical commands to direct a partner acting as a robot through an obstacle course to complete a task. 2. Students work together to decide commands like tapping shoulders to indicate direction and draw a circle to turn, then write a code to move a doll from one corner to another. 3. The code is tested by having one student act as the coder to direct the other acting as the robot through the steps.

    BE A DIRECTIONS FOR PSEUDOCODING:

    STEM
    NOTE: You can create your own version of the commands or
    use our example below.

    GIANT
    1. Agree with your partner to create physical commands for
    movement such as:
    Tap back to start moving
    Tap head to stop moving
    Tap their left shoulder means move left
    Tap right shoulder means move right
    A STEM Alliance Program
    Drawing a circle on the back means turn around 90°

    2. With your partner, decide on a task for your toy such as
    moving a doll from one corner of the room to another.
    TECHNOLOGY & MATH: 3. Make a small obstacle course with toys so the “Robot”
    can take orders from the “Coder” to move the doll
    ROBOTIC PSEUDOCODING
    around the objects. You can also create a maze like the
    one below.
    DESCRIPTION: 4. Write down the commands in the order that’s needed to
    Robots follow directions that people perform each task.
    give them. They need detailed, step- 5. To test your code, the “Coder” taps on the “Robot” to
    by-step instructions to complete a task. signal each step-by-step action.
    Pseudocoding is a set of detailed notes 6. EXTRA MATH STEP: Once you’ve tested your path,
    that the programmer can use to create change the commands to binary code using 0 and 1.
    the instructions, which can then be Here's an example:
    a. Moving forward is 00001
    transcribed into computer code.
    b. Turning Left is 00010
    c. Stop is 00000
    MATERIALS:
    Paper Putting the code together will give you a
    language that computers will understand.
    Pencils or crayons
    Here’s what BINARY CODE looks like.
