Potato Pirate Programmers Unite!!!
1. Think of how to go from the start to Potato King
2. Use the arrows to “code” the instruction for your superhero friend
3. Once all the arrows are laid out, read out to your Potato Pirate buddy who will walk through the maze
4. Shout “top” and move to the next arrow when your buddy is going to hit the masking tape

Potato Pirate Buddies
1. Listen to your friend’s instruction
2. If your buddy gives a wrong instruction and you hit the white masking tape, shout “Uh-oh!”
3. Go back to the starting line and debug the code with your friend

Lesson Review
✘ Our brains tell us how to move and we can also write computer programs that tell machines like (potato) robots how to move
✘ Understand debugging and get them to understand the spirit of failing and trying.
✘ Show a sequence of arrows with a “?” in between , and let students guess what that arrow should be (next slide)
