Zen Computer Science - Period 3 - Tuesday - Week 2
Flynn sat at his desk again, feet up, waiting for everyone to shuffle through and check in.
On the table near the front sat a small collection of shoeboxes, taped shut.
Once he was satisfied that everyone was present, he began class.
"Understanding computers is not just knowing how to click here, or click there. It's about knowing what your machine
can and cannot do, and it's history of why."
He grinned.
"Computers are logical. They use a system that dates back to the time of the Greeks and Aristotle, only modified
and tasked to suit the technology used today." Flynn got up and stood in front of his desk.
"So today, we're going to study logic. To that end, we're going to have a little fun." he grinned the patented Flynn boyish grin.
"I want you to partner off into groups of threes or twos, and every group gets a box from up here." He gestures to the box. "Inside each box is one
object. Using just your powers of observation and WITHOUT looking in the box, tell me what's inside it."
Flynn looked at their faces. "This means no powers as well, so don't get any bright ideas."
He watched the kids play with the boxes and waited for any of them to come up with an answer.

Re: Pair up!
She scooted her chair closer to the redhead. "Do you think we're allowed to smash the box up? Or burn it? Oh! And I'm Rikku."

OOC: am now moving to the other thread. Also, "box buddies" made me want to go, "Oooh, is it season four already?" ;)
