Q2 Decomposition: Introduction

Introduction

Decomposition is the first stage of computational thinking. You may have heard the word in reference to something dying or rotting. When something decomposes it does break down into something different.

In the case of computational thinking, decomposition is breaking a complex problem into smaller chunks. The problem can be as small as learning to tie your shoes or as large as constructing a new car that drives itself!

In this Quest, you are going to learn how to break a complex problem into smaller chunks.
