Meanwhile, Sol...
Tinker to understand how BOOM and WEAK work!
- Touch and push objects
- Use blocks to make and break rules
- Pause to read rules
with the Inspector
- Ask, "What do I notice?" after trying something
In problem 1, which of Zorro's observations is the most useful?
- The lava is orange
- There's a lot of snow
- There's a rule for ROCK IS DEFEAT
- Walking on lava seems scary
Be ready to vote then discuss
why after time is up!
Think about this question while you play...
What does the
yellow computer do?
- Lets you message other people
- Tracks the amount of stardust
- Tells the bots what to do
- Plays videos
Be ready to vote then discuss
how you know after time is up!
Keep this in mind as you play...
Watch out for rogue bots!
You can't change their code. Read and run the code to figure out what to do.
If you get stuck, you can
rewind with Z and reset with R.
Use wait for to make a bot wait
for a specific event, like pressing a button or flipping a switch.

What should the
Grabber bot do first?
You can also use the Inspector
to read rules and learn more about state blocks!
- What do I notice and what could be useful?
- What is the goal?
- What is blocking me
from the goal? Why?
To understand a problem,
ask yourself these questions:
Once you understand a problem,
plan a solution by asking yourself these questions:
- How can I break this problem into smaller steps?
- What order should I do these steps in?
Work independently
to solve problems!
Next lesson, you will solve problems independently to show what you’ve learned!
Asking the Guiding Questions
Inspecting rules and objects
Inspecting state blocks
If you get stuck, try:
In problem 1, learn about SINK
by making the rules shown below.
SOL IS SINK
GOLD IS SINK
FOSSIL IS SINK
Both 2 and 3
Which rule(s) are helpful
for solving the problem?

As you play, make observations
about problems by asking yourself:
"What do I notice and
what could be useful?"
Some useful things to notice are:
- Rules that are already
in the problem - New rules you could make with the blocks in the problem
Focus on rules

Sol's friends will ask you
questions during your journey.
