Unplugged Activity | Graph Paper Programming

00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:10,099
This lesson is called "Graph Paper Programming"

3
00:00:10,099 --> 00:00:14,349
and it's all about algorithms. Today we're
going to learn how to write programs that

4
00:00:14,349 --> 00:00:21,349
show each other how to recreate simple black
and white images, using only hand drawn arrows.

5
00:00:27,630 --> 00:00:34,410
An algorithm is a list of instructions for
completing a task. We'll follow this set of

6
00:00:34,410 --> 00:00:41,400
instructions to make the bowl. Algorithms
are really helpful when you need someone else

7
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:47,950
to understand how to do something. If you're
writing an algorithm for a computer, you have

8
00:00:47,950 --> 00:00:53,140
to break it down to little tiny steps. So
finish this row and go to the next, then the

9
00:00:53,140 --> 00:01:00,140
next one, and you'll be done. I use algorithms
in my work. If I write down all of the steps

10
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:10,100
I can recreate that same piece again, or I
can teach someone else to do it. Put the glass

11
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:19,159
in the kiln, fuse it together, follow the
rest of the instructions to make the bowl.

12
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,120
Algorithms give you a road map for getting
something done.
