# Algorithms
This lesson introduces a conceptual framework for thinking of a computing device as something that uses code to process one or more inputs and send them to an output(s).
## Lesson objectives
Students will...
* Understand the four components that make up a computer and their functions.
* Understand that the micro:bit takes input, and after processing the input, produces output.
* Learn the variety of different types of information the micro:bit takes in as input.
* Apply this knowledge by creating a micro:bit program that takes input and produces an output.
## Lesson plan
1. [**Overview**: What is a computer and micro:bit hardware](/courses/csintro/algorithms/overview)
2. [**Unplugged**: What's your function?](/courses/csintro/algorithms/unplugged)
3. [**Activity**: Happy face, sad face](/courses/csintro/algorithms/activity)
4. [**Project**: Fidget cube](/courses/csintro/algorithms/project)
