Computational Thinking in Science and Math

Programming: It's for Everyone!

---

In the following pages, you'll be guided through a series of activities meant to introduce you to the basics of programming practice and vocabulary. If you've taken a computer science course, much of this may already be familiar to you! 

Here are some things you shouldn't worry about while you complete these activities:

1. Getting the "right" solution on the first try. What you should do is actively think about how your solutions change as you think about each problem differently.

2. Memorizing programming vocabulary. If this is your first time using programming parlance, don't worry about remember every particular term. We'll try to give you a broad overview of how programmers talk about things so that you can talk to your classmates and share your work with your peers.

Page 5 (the last page) is an "optional" page that you may not have time for. Feel free to come back to it at another time.
