Ambassador Think Like a Programmer Journey Award

In this Journey, you will:

1. Find out how programmers use computational thinking to solve problems.

2. Do 3 computational thinking activities: build a message-sending machine out of everyday objects to learn about binary, develop an algorithm to find the smallest playing card in a row of cards, and design an app that solves a problem for others to explore user-centered design.

3. Plan a Take Action project that helps others. If you're a Girl Scout volunteer, go to Volunteer Toolkit for complete meeting plans and activity instructions.

Learn more about how to earn your Take Action Award — and help your community — with the Girl Scout Take Action Guide. Then use your leadership skills to earn your Gold Award, the highest award for Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors!
