Apply Computational Thinking To Problem-Solving

Practice

• Change the input parameters (the things you can change inside a block, like the numbers and choices in the drop-down lists) in the demo code and predict what Edison will do.

• Download the changed code to Edison and run the program.
• Give step by step instructions to a family member or friend (give instructions on how to get from one place in your house to another place, how to make a sandwich or any other simple task).
• Listen to the success sound and the fail sound Edison makes found at the troubleshooting link below.
