Module 27: Pseudocode (Optional)
Outcome
Examine the role of pseudocode in planning computer programs.
Indicators
| (a) | Differentiate between pseudocode, natural language and a programming language. |
| (b) | Explain the syntax and guidelines typically associated with pseudocode. |
| (c) | Discuss the benefits of using pseudocode when planning coding projects and robotic functions. |
| (d) | Write pseudocode that incorporates counted loops and subroutine structures to control program flow. |
| (e) | Write pseudocode that incorporates decision making structures (e.g., IF, IF-THEN-ELSE) to control program flow. |
| (f) | Write pseudocode that incorporates nested decision making structures. |
| (g) | Use a flowchart, analogy, or visual programming environment to model the logical flow of a device. |

Tinkercad
This website allows 3D models to be constructed, modified and exported to 3D printable formats. The software can be used for 3D editing, circuit design and testing, and block coding. Along with the designing circuits and coding, this site has a simulator built into the dashboard for creating and testing circuits in an online virtual area. It also incorporates the use of an Arduino microcontroller. This site is regularly updated and can incorporate circuits and code blocks. Through this site, one can create virtual robots and test virtual codes and circuits with minimal equipment. Users must create an account which is free of charge.
