I/O
Stands for "Input/Output" and is pronounced simply "eye-oh." Computers are based on the fundamental idea that every input results in an output. For example, if you are running a word processor program and type a sentence on your keyboard, the text will appear on the screen. The keyboard is an input device and the screen is an output device. You might also print the text using a printer, which is another output device.
| Input | Connected by | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Lever | Redstone wires | Light from lamp |
You have already learnt about a number of Input and Output Gates. Now it is over to you to think of as many ways as you can to convert an input to output, be creative, Minecraft really lets you build almost anything!
| Input | Connected by | Output |

Planning Task
Seesaw planning Task:
Using Seesaw plan a machine that will keep a "signal" moving through multiple phases. See the example and then come up with your own ideas. Working with a partner your goal is to get as many phases connected together as possible! You will have 3 weeks to build your machine.
You need to plan the first 5 stages of this route...
DO NOT start building until you and your partner have completed your own plans. Then make sure you discuss each section and carefully think about how you will link your ideas together.
Once you have planned and have a partner - add yourselves to this tracking document - Keep track of your team's progress here
Can I design/invent a machine to get a signal from A->B->C->D?
