Ways to act like a computer scientist
![Page 2: Ways to act like a computer scientist. Be curious Look at different menus Run code to see what happens Check the effects of different settings Answer](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062401/5a4d1b6f7f8b9ab0599b4c16/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Be curious
• Look at different menus• Run code to see what
happens• Check the effects of
different settings• Answer your own questions

Ask questions and collaborate
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help• Don’t keep it a secret … tell others

Read through your code
• Computers follow instructions exactly• Think like a computer processor• Create step-by-step instructions• Find errors in your logic or missing steps

Don’t feel bad about making mistakes
• Mistakes do NOT equal failure• One step closer to creating
the right solution

Step away from your screen
• Take a break• Come back with a new
perspective

Things to keep in mind while learning CS
• We’re all learners• You’re not going to be an
expert your first time• Learning to program takes
time, but anyone can do it
