PUZZLE 1: ALGORITHMS

In this puzzle...

Students will have to give directions. When you provide directions, you're essentially giving a set of step-by-step instructions to reach a destination. This is similar to creating algorithms in computational thinking, where you develop a sequence of actions to solve a problem.

Giving directions involves breaking down a task and providing a sequence of steps. This skill can be helpful in computer science and in many other aspects of problem-solving in our daily lives.
