Marmalade Sandwich Algorithms!

Today in ICT we were learning what algorithms are: sets of rules which are followed to get an outcome. We learnt that these are what make most modern technology work, including video games. Soon we'll be programming our own games, but to start we tried writing an algorithm to make a marmalade sandwich - it was tougher than it looked, especially when it came to getting the robot to follow our instructions! we soon learnt we had to be VERY precise!


Luckily for Mr K (the robot!), we soon got better at it!


Here is a set of of debugged (fixed!) algorithms!
Lesson based on Phil Bagge (@Baggiepr)'s idea! :-)
