Why do we Code?
It's critical thinking and problem solving! ....and it's fun!

Input and Output
Focus for Learning - Question of the Day: How do computers use input and output to get and give the information that they need to solve problems?
In Preparation to making an APP
Computers get and give information to the user through inputs and outputs.
1.) First consider what information you would need to solve a "thinking problem", then use that information to produce a recommendation.
2.) You then identify the inputs and outputs to that process.
3.) Afterwards, consider an app that engages in the same process and determine how that app inputs and outputs information.
4.) Last, you consider other types of inputs and outputs that computers can use to help solve problems.
Let's try it!

Assignment 1
Prompt: Imagine that you are going to recommend a pet to someone. What are three questions you would ask them to help make that recommendation? Give students time to write down their three questions in Canvas under assignments.
Assignment 2
Create an account on Code.org. Write down your user name and password in your agenda.
