Unplugged Activity | Relay Programming

00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:12.100
Hi, I'm Anna! Today we're going to do relay programming.

00:00:12.110 --> 00:00:16.470
It's all about programming under pressure
and debugging the mistakes that sometimes

00:00:16.470 --> 00:00:22.430
happen when you work really quickly or in
teams. We'll use graph paper programming to

00:00:22.430 --> 00:00:29.430
simulate coding, and use relay races to simulate
having a deadline. In relay programming, teams

00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:37.660
will be racing to finish a graph paper program.
You have to check your teammate's work, or

00:00:37.660 --> 00:00:44.660
debug it, fix it if there's a mistake, add
your arrow, and run back and tag your teammate.

00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:52.079
Programmers use debugging a lot to find and
fix problems in their algorithms or code.

00:00:56.710 --> 00:01:01.829
There are lots of ways to debug problems.
One of the easiest is to move step by step

00:01:01.829 --> 00:01:08.149
until you find where something goes wrong,
then fix it. Here, I'm trying to do a back

00:01:08.149 --> 00:01:15.149
handspring, but I keep falling off. I walk
through each part, step by step, and realize

00:01:15.479 --> 00:01:22.479
where my mistake was. My coach showed me I
wasn't putting my hands on the beam correctly.

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:29.020
So I tried another back handspring on the
beam with my new hand position, and I stuck

00:01:29.020 --> 00:01:36.020
it! I was really glad I debugged my back handspring.
We figured it out!

00:01:36.020 --> 00:01:40.120
Debugging is finding and fixing problems.

00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:44.900
Nice, Anna! Good job!
