Over the course of weeks 2 - 8, participants should work on breaking down logic for prospective functionality of a given problem. This lesson has the use case of being provided a screen recording of an application's various features. The participant should work with their trios and/or their mentors to actively break down the various features, spending a 20-30 minute session on digging into the logic (in pseudocode) for the entire feature's functionality end-to-end as best they are able. Give an expectation that the participants should revisit this exercise each week, trying their hand at a new feature each week.

Breakdown the various stages identified in the following Hoopla Digital screen recording as follows:

Provide an example walkthrough of pseudocode breakdown for one of the features and which questions arise as you pick apart the logic to guide participants in what they should be considering when breaking down their own attempt at a feature.

The participants will also be learning and building over the weeks concurrently. As such there should be mention of the following:
