Creating and simplifying algorithms

Through optimizing the instructions in the complex algorithms from the modules so far, students learn how to simplify their programs. In this module they prepare projects and practice their algorithm and program construction skills.

 

Topics

  1. What is an algorithm?
  2. Constructing an algorithm
  3. Simplifying an algorithm
  4. Preparing a project 5 (8-9)

100 POINTS

Algorithms containing cycles, condition and basic events

The focus in this module will be for children to consider how to use conditional constructions optimally and how to convert different types of cycles. They will use the skills they have developed in order to create more complex games and programs.

Topics

  1. Priority of actions in complex algorithms. Use of conditions and cycles in an algorithm
  2. Complex algorithms
  3. Complex algorithm development debugging
  4. Project preparation 6 (8-9)

100 POINTS

Where are my variables? (variables)

This module will introduce children to the concept of variable. They will learn how to set initial value to a variable and how to modify it in the working process. They will learn about the different types of variables and how to use them in the different programming environments.

Topics

  1. What is a variable? Definition and application
  2. Variable types and values
  3. Variable types
  4. Project preparation 7 (8-9)

100 POINTS

Project module

In this project module, children will develop project modules and create games. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to practice everything they have learned accomplishing various interesting missions from international programming competitions.

Topics

  1. Preparation of a project that includes interaction between hardware and software object
  2. Project preparation - an interactive game with events application
  3. Implementation of a robot project from a programming competition
  4. Creating a project by own idea and presentation to an audience
