As you come in today, please begin working on the "Brain Warm Up"

Brain Warm Up

Consider a dog. When you want to command or ask a dog to do something what kind of things do you say to it?

Think of at least two examples of commands you could give a dog that it might respond to and write them down.

What kind of commands does a dog not listen to? How could you get a dog to do more complex tasks?

Agenda

  1. Practice CS vocabulary
    • "computer"
    • "computer science"
    • "algorithm"
    • "program"
    • "programming language"
  2. Write algorithms
  3. "Debug" algorithms
  4. Rinse and repeat (welcome to computer science)

Objective: Define "algorithm." Construct algorithms for performing simple tasks.
