Lesson 7.2: Pair Programming Partnership

Welcome, adventurers! Programming is often a team sport. Today, you’ll partner up for a special mission, learning how to code together. This is called Pair Programming, and it’s how many real-world programmers build amazing things!

What You’ll Learn

By the end of this adventure, you’ll be able to:

  • Work with a partner to build a program.
  • Take turns in the two important roles: the “Driver” and the “Navigator.”
  • Clearly explain your coding ideas to a teammate.
  • See how teamwork can make your programs even better!

Your Co-Pilot Mission Plan

Meet Your Co-Pilot (10 minutes)

  • Let’s learn the two secret roles! The Driver is the one with their hands on the controls (the tablet or computer). The Navigator is the guide, looking at the big picture, spotting problems, and giving directions.
  • We’ll do a quick demo to show you how a great Driver and Navigator work together.
  • We’ll agree on our team rules for being respectful and helpful partners.

The Team Challenge (30 minutes)

  • Time for your mission! You and your partner will work together to solve a series of programming challenges.
  • We’ll use a timer! Every few minutes, you’ll hear a signal to SWITCH ROLES. This ensures everyone gets a turn to be the Driver and the Navigator.
  • Your teacher will be your mission commander, visiting each team to help you work together smoothly.

Mission Debrief (7 minutes)

  • Back with your partner, have a quick chat: What worked well for your team? What was a little tricky?
  • Let’s share our best teamwork strategies with the whole class.
  • We’ll set a team goal for the next time we do pair programming.

Celebrating Teamwork (3 minutes)

  • Let’s give a big cheer for all the amazing teamwork we saw today!
  • We’ll recognize that every person brings valuable ideas to the team.
  • High-fives for your partner!

Your Mission Gear

  • One device with Scratch Jr. for each pair of adventurers
  • Role cards to remind you if you’re the Driver or the Navigator
  • A timer for our role-switching signal
  • A list of fun programming challenges for your team to conquer

How to Be an All-Star Team

  • We’ll see how you and your partner talk to each other and share ideas.
  • Role Reversal: How well do you switch between being the Driver and the Navigator?
  • The amazing program you build together will be proof of your awesome teamwork!

New Tech Words to Master

  • Pair Programming: A style of coding where two people work together at one computer.
  • Driver: The person who types the code or controls the mouse.
  • Navigator: The person who watches, guides, and thinks about the big picture.
  • Collaboration: A fancy word for teamwork!
  • Communication: Sharing your ideas and listening to your partner’s ideas clearly.
