    In the third round, Jerry is at a higher level. Thus, the cycle goes on.

                     Repeating a set of steps is called a loop.

                              Experiential Learning                                                             Activity

                        In the "Mission to Mars" activity, students are divided into groups of four, simulating a space
                        mission to Mars. One student act as an astronaut (the "robot"), while the others become the
                        mission control team. The mission control team communicates remotely with the blindfolded
                        astronaut, guiding them through complex tasks related to the mission.

                     UNDERSTANDING PROGRAMS

                     A computer understands step-by-step instructions written only in a unique language, called as
                     program. The computer reads the program we write and follows as per our instructions.

                     Let's write the steps to make a square.

                          Move 2 steps right.

                          Move 2 steps up.

                          Move 2 steps left.

                          Move 2 steps down.

                                                                                             Start

                     Similarly, we can write the steps to make a rectangle.

                          Move 2 steps right.

                          Move 1 step up.

                          Move 2 steps left.

                          Move 1 step down.                                                  Start

                                                                                                   Stepwise Thinking   57
