Daily Note

Programming basics

Our big idea or question: 

  1. What are the basics for programming knowledge and understanding?

IF today ==  testing_day_for_me:
     remember to go get tested!

IF today == Friday:
     current_event_activity()

Please read and follow these reminders:

  1. always start every class by reading our daily note
  2. Please check now: is visual studio code working from my programming folder?
  3. You will provide feedback for our daily notes system using this google document

The plan for our class:

  1. We will revise for our test on Friday
    1. Inputs and outputs
    2. Reading error messages in Python
    3. Variables
    4. Functions
    5. Data types
    6. Slicing
    7. Selection 
    8. Operators
    9. iteration

Your homework for today:

Our Big idea

The big idea for today is Computational thinking.

The essential questions for this topic are:

How do we think about problems in a way which makes them solvable for a computer?

It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to
learn more about computational thinking (which is connected to today's daily note), please click here .

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
