DECEMBER 7 TH – 12 TH Newark High School

 What is your favorite app?  If you could invent ANY app, what problem would it solve?

 Copy and paste into Google Chrome Copy and paste into Google Chrome 

 …Participate in the HOUR OF CODE during Science and Advisory class this week.  Sign up to take a Computer Science class next year at Newark High School  Look for opportunities online or through a local program ◦ Code.org ◦ Codeacademy.org ◦ Zip Code Wilmington (offers guaranteed job placement after completing the 12 week program)

Instructions: : Find the minimum number of paving stones that need to be used so that you can get from any house to any other house. (The bridge doesn’t need to be paved.)

 Computer scientists often use this sort of diagram to represent these problems. They call it a graph.  Can you find out a rule to describe how many roads or connections are needed for a best solution? Does it depend on how many houses there are in the city?

Instructions: Color in the countries on this map with as few colors as possible, but make sure that no two bordering countries are the same color.
