In traditional games of Scrabble® or other word games, the player with the highest total score is declared the winner. Not so in today’s activity! Students will play a word game in which the winner achieves a certain statistical goal, such as a mean score closest to 12 points or a set of scores with the greatest standard deviation.

When a newly written program is run on a computer, it rarely works as the coder intended. Programmers use the word bugs to describe errors in a program that affect the user. In this activity, students will analyze 1 or more programs in the Basic language to identify the bugs, and then fix them. The 5 sample programs offer a range of experiences for student coders, from novice to expert.
