Hey, there friends, Abby Brown here from Iowa, PBS Come wander and wonder with me.
My friend Sonny and I are going to practice our computational
thinking skills.
But what we're really going to do is...
make cereal bars.
Sonny, what is this?
A phone. It's not just any old phone.
It's a very, very smart phone.
Right?
You can ask this thing anything you want, right?
Have you ever done that before?
Yes. Do you think this thing knows how far it is to the moon?
Yeah.
Should we try it.
Okay. Ready?
You're going to ask the question.
Go. How far away is the moon?
Oh, and look at that.
Do you see that number?
It says the 238,855 miles away.
That's right. Pretty smart phone, right?
So how did this phone get so smart?
Do you know?
Phone knows more than that.
More than a regular person does.
Oh, you think so?
How did it find out all that stuff?
The scientists.
Oh, wait a minute.
So a person.
Yes. Is smarter than a computer
because the person put it on the computer.
That's exactly right.
So everything that a phone, smartphone or a computer does
has been programed by a person like a scientist.
You're exactly right.
So when we say computational thinking skills,
those are the ways that we program
a computer to be so smart and able to solve.
So many problems and think like the smartest people on Earth.
Right.
So guess what?
That's what you're going to do today.
So what we're going to do is make cereal bars.
Have you ever made cereal bars before?
Yes. Do you know any of the steps involved in making cereal bars?
Melt the marshmallows? You got it.
And then put the marshmallows
and...and shape them.
You know, a lot of the steps.
And that's one of the skills that programmers
use that they teach to computers is called decomposition.
So we take a really big job like making cereal bars,
and we break it down into smaller jobs.
But it's easier after we've broken down all of the steps,
we're going to go into another skill which is called an algorithm.
Our algorithm is this.
Do you know what this is called?
It's a thing before. It's a plan.
It's a plan.
That's exactly what it is.
So our algorithm gave us all of the steps that we needed and filled
in all of the things that we forgot when we decomposed our job.
And now we know for sure that if we follow this algorithm,
we will have cereal bars at the end of the day, right?
Mm hmm. One thing that a computer can't do
is think like a human if it hasn't been taught.
I like treats. I know you like treats.
So there's times when we're going to get to add
our own preferences, our own desires into the recipe.
Okay?
And it could be lessons that you've learned other times that
you've made cereal bars.
Like ice cream.
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
I also know that you and your family
love treats, and so does we do me and my family.
And I don't think this is going to be enough.
What can we do to this recipe to make sure it's enough for both our families?
Double It. Double it!
Let's do it.
So what does the first step say?
Microwave butter plus mallows for one minute.
For one minute and stir repeat as
needed until smooth.
And every time we repeat something, we're recognizing a pattern.
Okay, so the pattern in this case is going to be heat the marshmallows, stir it.
Repeat until when? Smooth.
And tell it is smooth.
So let's get busy. How much butter do we need?
8 tablespoons.
I've done this before a time or two,
and I know that it's going to melt a whole lot better if we slice and dice it up.
So go ahead and open it and you can use the knife to cut it into pieces.
And then what's the other thing we have to melt in with the butter?
Marshmallows. Marshmallows.
And how much do we need?
20 ounces.
So how many ounces are in that bag?
10.5. 10.5.
So a little more than ten. But here's the thing.
I know that if we put the whole bag in,
I mean, just see, you already knew that trick, too, didn't you?
So do you have to put the two bags?
Yeah, we do have to do two bags.
Right, Because we're going to double it, aren't we?
We've got our marshmallows measured.
Our butter is measured.
Thank you for putting that away.
What's the next step?
Microwave one.
One minute at a time.
So that's our pattern, right?
This. This machine knows.
What a minute is because the programmer who created numbers put it on here.
Bingo. You got it.
Now, in 23 seconds it's going to be done
and a programmer designed it that way to let us know...
...that it's done.
And that's called a control structure.
All right, Snny, what's next?
Cereal.
How much cereal do we need?
Six. Double that would be 12.
12 cups of cereal Okay, here we go.
Spray the bowl, because once we pour the marshmallow in, it's going to get sticky.
So let's go ahead and spray it.
All right.
Another pro-tip and I learned this one from my grandma.
We have to measure lots and lots of cups of something.
Count out loud.
Then you'll keep better track because it's not in the algorithm.
But I do know some tricks to make cereal bars a little more tasty.
And I thought we could add sprinkle sprinkles and some candies.
That sound good?
Probably not all of them just few. Go ahead.
If your hands are clean and go ahead and drop them in.
Oh, just like a true chef.
What do you think?
Should we go ahead and dump it into the cereal?
Look at you.
Fantastic. All right.
Do you think it's good?
All right. What's the next step?
Pan. Pan first.
All right.
The next step is press mixture into butter, and pan.
Then it is finally time for...
....sprinkles! Let's do it.
We had to do lots of thinking, like computer programmers today, Right?
But we also did some thinking of our own based on what we like and our own opinions
and our own experience of making cereal bars before, like.
Like sprinkles. Uh huh.
And we also added a few extra marshmallows because we knew it would be just fine
and delicious. Right.
Well, good job today, Sonny and I discovered
that we already think a lot like computer programmers.
What algorithm will you follow?
Have Fun with it!
Turn around
and let's put this right in the middle.
And I.
Okay. I think I got it.
Oh, yeah, That's perfect.
All right. Okay.
What else? Hmm?
We're going to have to do that.
Yes. And, uh, can we try to do, like, a quick, like,
Hey on?
Oh, yeah. This wonder and wonder.
We talked about compositional thinking.
Me and my friend, you know, kind of like what you do the intro.
Okay. As a promo. Mm.
I mean, maybe doing the same composition, computational programing.
We talked about programing,
and this is for air this week.
If this gets approved, it would be for air.
Okay, check out check it out at the end.
And then they can do redirect however they want or we'll try it that way.
Specific for this one.
Then we'll say wonder and wonder with us.
Come, wander and wonder.
Was Sonny and I.
We thought a lot like a computer programmers and made
a delicious treat, followed an algorithm, and ended up with a very delicious treat.
Perfect.
Uh, okay.
That's specific to this animal.
We want a general.
Uh, what do you say? Can you have fun with it?
What adventures will you go on? Have fun.
But have fun often in all our adventures as we walk or one day or something.
We love it.
It's a lot of things. It's all right.
No, I'm glad you thought of it.
Big smile right into the camera.
Not mat's the one on the thing. Ready? Right.
You want that one? Yep.
Okay, Sonny and I, uh.
Big smile. Ready?
Come wander and wonder.
With us is Sonny and I discovered that we think a lot like computer programmers.
We followed an algorithm and came up with a very delicious treat.
Perfect. Okay. And then
a little more generic.
Yeah. Okay.
You can say we want everyone here today wondering.
What is this?
Come have fun with us on all our.
Okay. What are you wondering?
Check out all of our other adventures.
Come wandering one of us and check out all our other
explorer, Sonny and I.
When? I'm sorry.
That's okay.
No, that's, um.
I wish I were going to come wander in.
Wonder with this.
Sonny and I went on an adventure. Whatever.
Will you go on?
Come join us at all or come join us on off.
Okay, let me try.
Um. Come wander and wonder with us.
Sonny and I came up with a delicious tree.
That's what you want, Sunny.
And I want nothing with Sunny still about Sunny and
sunny And I
just explored that and wondered about blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And it's really the ending for things to be sunny.
And I were wandering and wondering today and we had a great adventures.
You can go on adventures to
what adventures will you go on? What do you.
I don't know.
Come join us on all our adventures with us.
So join me for many more.
Come, join us now.
Is it adventures or Come on or I think it's
just come onto with us and then I can just.
I have to script it a little bit better. So it's not just coming to me.
No, you're not.
You're helping
somebody. I character.
You said it the other day.
It was you who said it and I saw it come on and I was driving over.
I was like, I saw the script. Yeah, that's all right.
You got to write down, right? I don't want to what I write.
I wish.
Maybe you should write something up for me.
Sorry. That was hard. No, you're not. You're glad.
So glad you thought of it.
I just. It's all jumbled in my brain now.
Come wonder and wonder with us.
We're going on adventures like following algorithms.
Join us for more.
Um, time with us.
I think that maybe all you have to say about all the adventure or
find more adventure.
Uh, come.
Come along and more adventures.
It's just hard because I use the same.
I have to divvy up the terms, you know?
And that's why I.
It is adventure.
The right thing to come have fun with us.
What I always say.
What adventures will you go on at the end, then?
Then it's okay.
Yes, it's okay.
You didn't introduce that term.
Okay.
Come wander and wonders. What are the bunch?
Come on,
come on, Come along on more adventures.
How do I end it?
What adventures with you?
That's what adventures will you go on?
How fun with it.
Join us and join us on all our adventures.
Join us for all our adventures.
And like, really every day.
Join us for a Joy class.
I would say $5 Adventures on a of she'll post. Oh,
okay.
Join us for all our adventures.
Okay. Big smile. Run of the camera.
Come wander and wonder with us.
Sunny and I made a delicious treat.
Come, come.
Join us for all of our adventures.
Come, wonder and wonder with us.
Sunny and I made a delicious treat.
Come along for all our adventures.
One more time.
Okay. Go ahead.
You smiling? Okay.
Come wander in. Wonder with us.
Sunny and I made a delicious treat.
Come along.
For all our adventures.
Say the first prize.
Come wander and wonder with us.
Maybe this wonder and wonder with us today.
Okay. Kind of place.
Come. Adventure. Got it. Okay.
Wonder and wonder with us.
Now, that sounds weird.
Hey there, friends.
Uh, come wonder and wonder with me.
I always say come and wander in. Wonder.
Yeah, but then we have come twice.
Drop the second.
Come to the safe.
Join us and join us on all our adventures.
Join us for all our adventure.
You can join us for all of our adventures.
Okay. Ready? Big smile.
Come, wander in. Wonder with us.
Sonny and I made a delicious treat.
Join us for all of our adventures.
Excellent.
I think we got that one. Good.
I want to do a k a tall and okay.
Same thing.
Just right here this day.
Come wander and wonder with us.
Come wonder and wonder with us.
Sonny and I made a delicious treat.
Join us for all of our adventures.
See you in that one. Yeah. Okay.
You did great.
You jumped right into being a TV star.
You're a chef. You're a TV star.
And you almost didn't pull yourself together in time to do it.
Good thing we had got a little bit of caffeine, huh?
Now, if you need you do need your drink.
Take it over here so that you're not in the shot.
You're going to see me cutting it.
Yeah. Big deal.
We're not going to make it.
Oh, best the day you eat.
Yeah, I was.
Minute.
I might have you to a pool.
Okay. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that one.
Oh, it's perfect the way it is.
Like. No.
Remember what happened last time you did that kind of all over your fingers?
Oh, yeah. Let's move this out of the way.
Keep that back here.
You got it.
Oh, here you go.
You know where you're going to go?
Go right here.
Pretty
excellent.
I mean, I'm going to pull there and then just pull that one out.
Yes. Hey, everyone,
that looks wrong.
Let's do it.
Darn. Sorry. Can we try?
Let's do this one. Yep. We'll do this corner
of focus right in front.
So I'm going to do the corner.
Rohan.
That was it.
Yes. Okay,
I go.
Look, these guys know we're ready. Okay,
good. Great.
Sonny, you nailed it.
Should I tell your mom you're ready to go?
Are you going to chill here for a while?
I'll let your mom know. She might.
Maybe she wants to come and hang out too.
Here with Logan.
You'll chill.
Here with Logan,
you can go up and hang out with Logan if you want to tell Logan to come down
and have a crispy.
Oh, wait.
Microphone. Oh, yeah. We need your iPhone.
Oh, let's do it.
Be real, Sam, to be real, and then you can be in it.
Well, then I can do you really to be real.
Be real at the very. And I'm in the middle.
You're standing.
You're right. In Matt's light.
It's just.
It's an know.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, Ready? Now get in there.
Are you in there?
Which way are you going to look
at the table like this.
Okay, I got mine.
Okay.
Very big.
Uh, Sarah, Other girls?
Yeah. Get em.
That's awesome.
I feel it. There's. So. I feel like there's so much there.
So just whatever you have to do, you always make it wonderful.
We're done.
You come in freshly made,
but there's a lot.
And he jumped in.
And later you're like, You guys want one of these?
Yeah, I gonna go really good in this
game, Sonny.
Yeah.
He's up with Logan this
year. Yeah.
Oh, I know.
Oh, Logan. My God. You know that, right?
Oh, yeah.
Give Matt your mike.
Hey, honey.
You made him.
He's a pro. He's a baker now. Celebrity.
Yeah, he was already a celebrity.
He did one other show on The Who, The girls. Jack
ago. I was not that good about Sonny.
Get in there. Sonny.
Yeah.
Logan, get Sonny on.
I was the 2 hours.
Okay. Mm.
I know we got to get job.
It's a huge show.
We want this one, right?
Me But you knew you were wrong.
She a fun time at the gym.
Sonny Make sure your videographer gets one.
I'm all right. Thank you.
All right, let us know what we can help you haul that stuff back in your car.
Will, to take him in at this moment.
What did you guys do?
We. We put extra
meals like cheese.
Oh. Oh, it's the butter.
It's the spray. Yeah, I like that.
But it tastes like anything.
Is butter straight? Mm.
How could you have taken like, I can't taste it.
It just. It was good. Jill, I like the
bourbon.
No, no, I don't know what you
feel, Brady. You.
I'm 43rd grade.
It's weird because in my brain, you're like, the same age as
Quincy and Logan.
Even though they're in this different class to
these guys.
You've been hanging out with this guy.
He's going to what, size? $80.
Let's see.
I'm on Nicole and then Dominic, you know, you think
And is AJ taller than
I know.
And just all. Mm.
These are delicious.
I don't know what the judges are like.
Yeah. If it's 130 you eat or you.
Oh, those are supposed to go in or if you don't,
I love, I don't know what that was you man.
You're the one that said Stop on Eminem's.
Larry walked over
Well he said not use the whole thing.
So I was be careful.
I never said that. I thought you dumped the whole thing and.
Or did I say that
that's not
okay.
Okay.
I steal.
Southwest Airlines might not bounce back from this.
Will the box?
Yeah, the box that ended up pomegranate.
Oh, no, no.
Make it yourself. Yeah, why not?
Cause I got to take the challenge.
Step over to Valley about 62.
Do you stay there then?
That will be the only
kilo that I will know.
I don't know how, like, warming up works.
Okay, If I get a lot of match,
that's from up there in the middle.
It will be easy.
Is is not that some of that?
Yeah, no kidding. Oh,
God is real.
Yeah, I do a lot of showers or something.
You knew that for that.
And then cause I that he knows what to put in his body.
Those
kind of
a whole thing of Eminem.
So I'm not there.
You're ready.
You're ready to scoop up the whole thing and and so he's definitely
that I'm always like, oh well, well you got to get out there.
You go out
25 minutes from school.
Oh, yeah.
I love thinking about where you would be if it was a school day.
What would you be doing right now if you're in school math
or aren't you?
I'm sure glad you're not in math and you're at a shoot instead
reading in
one group
like have the question of math and the other does reading.
Oh sure.
Who's your teacher?
Do you miss me?
Huh? Mr. Kyrie?
Yeah, he does like our Mondays.
Every other Monday, he does like trading cards. Um.
Oh, that's cool. What kind of cards?
You know, they do what?
Trading cards.
When you go to school
in Portland.
Oh, what are you.
And I'm too dumb.
I think
you do have a good time.
I can't believe you took her to the school.
She was good.
She made us run up in the weight room, in the dressing room.
How did you turn this thing off?
I was like, There's a version of you,
especially this by TV, and it's a zero ten.
I want to be here.
Speaking of you, got to second move, please.
Let's get this out of your way so you can both. But
I did.
I was like Borat.
But yeah, it such
is factor
so you can't prepare for plays of this
year when I get my hands on problem you are here are you going to keep groaning How
did your mom make you cut your bangs?
It will be a heavy phone on their toes.
How they are.
You have good hair, Sunny Very much.
Let me come in.
I know you're out there, but short hair, you know not to knock on my door.
I got many days, right?
Oh, here she is.
I'm Mini
Doodle.
Mini poodle.
What?
Yeah, with a cocker spaniel. Yeah.
Cockapoo, Cockapoo.
Yeah. Lab.
Oh, Labrador.
But bigger.
But they just look alike.
What? Smaller than mini smile?
No hollow eyes or a teacup or something.
But yeah, I think they.
But I think that's what he did.
She didn't have a tent.
Where do you go?
They cut it and took it off.
I know they do that with Yorkies too, because we had it.
Why do they do that?
I don't know.
It's just like the thing this. Huh?
But we had to take the little puppies to the vet.
They cut their tail. It does? Yeah.
You're born with a tail?
Yeah. Little Dobermans.
Oh, really? When they're born.
And then they cut and I was like, Then
we just leave the tail on,
like, who are the people down here that Sadie and Josie and
what is Sadie's last name?
Hi, There you are.
I have a smile. And what is it now?
My twins have, and theirs is a teacup.
And they're a yes, a teacup cockapoo.
And I think their Bailey is a lot bigger, though, than her.
And that's who,
when I saw their dog, I was like, Okay, this will be the dog that we get.
So when she was a mini, I was like, Well, it'll be small or bigger.
Yeah, I thought it would go the other way. Like
you think they're going to be a
Yeah, it's still a nice dog.
It's going to be a mini.
Oh really? Oh gosh. We got like even now.
Oh, it's like sometimes people, you know.
Yeah.
You would think a teacup should be smaller than a mini.
Yeah. Yeah.
I think that's the thing actually.
Like that. No, no. But that's where the term.
Yeah. Yeah.
That may be smaller than a mini you would be.
Yeah.
He did great. Okay.
Yeah. He weren't bright up.
I gave him caffeine also.
Okay.
But he, he started catching on to like.
So tell your mom what the lesson was.
Something. Something?
Yeah.
Say more.
Well, are they in wombat?
Are they ever going to say the words computational thinking skills?
They don't, but they'll say something else and maybe somewhere someone will say
something close to that.
But I bet you they don't.
So do you think I should be saying
if that's what it is and you're addressing
the adults that may be watching with the kids, then Yes.
But I'm I'm like, who's this?
Like, who is this?
Oh, it's for kids. But do it the way I tell you to do it.
We are it's like, is it is it are we this to like an educator to show the kids,
are we saying this is for kids and adults watch together
or it is like we're running kids to watch.
I think I got was like, well, I expect families to watch it.
Well, cool. But
I'm going to stick to the plan.
Okay.
We're just making cereal bars,
which is what the kids really just care about.
Okay.
The theater setting keeps my face from like,
not right. So I
one ed
to get this away from.
Oh, still there
it was last night.
I actually do.
Is it really 42 degrees outside right now?
It's pretty nice outside. Yeah.
We've really go ski on Friday.
Hopefully they're making snow.
Yeah, no representations.
We've got to transition.
I'm sure you have
my and
Yeah.
How much time we got. Half hour. Okay.
Wow. Sorry.
Probably
had plenty of time, but there are plenty of them.
I don't know I That's true.
I don't want to.
Three I don't even know what 16 to look for.
And if you think you're ready, I can let her know to bring them out, too.
I think they're not doing much. Oh,
Sarah will say or not.
But she did just fine last time when she didn't stay. So
big moments.
You know what I mean?
None of these. Oh, no.
This was very.
