Computational Thinking PO3

This activity is a CT PO3 activity.  In this task students will be using inputs and outputs to work with data stored in variables and although they will also be working with maths operators, they are not comparative, so it is not really a PO4 activity.  What the students are asked to do is to collect data from the user to calculate how much needs to be saved a week to meet a funding total within a specific time and then calculate how many hours of work that represents each week at a given hourly rate to meet that funding target.  This activity has been planned in Scratch, but could just as easily work in Tynker, using the same types of blocks

For those teachers who need to see how this code might look, the following link will take them to an example of how this challenge could be solved.  Obviously, this link should not be shared with your students!
