The 2019 1st term is over! It has been a great three months building, innovating and coding. It’s been fun and we can’t wait to see what the 2nd term has in-store! During the Open Day, we welcomed our parents into the classroom to experience the fun of STEM. Students [...]
Coding is not just going to the computer and starting to type in the scripts. Programming/Coding requires a well thought out and written plan. It requires a clear algorithm or flowchart to follow through while writing the scripts. An algorithm is a computer procedure which is like a recipe, [...]
Pair programming is an easy programming technique in which two programmers work together at one workstation. One programmer, the driver, writes codewhile the other, the observer or navigator, reviews each line of code as it is typed. The two programmers frequently switch roles to code and debug in real time. [...]
