Logic Goats : or-goat

Instructions
You will need a craft knife or other sharp knife, a pair of scissors, some glue and a glue spreader. The best type of glue to use is white school glue (PVA.) Print out the parts sheets onto thin cardboard. Photocopier card is ideal. Notice that the parts pages are marked front and back. Print out a front page, flip it over, then print the back onto the same sheet. Leave the ink to dry completely before continuing. Before cutting anything out, score along all the dotted lines and cut out any holes with a craft knife. Both these jobs are easier to do on full sheets of card. Dashed lines are hill folds, dotted lines are valley folds. Cut along the solid lines. Grey areas show where to glue Youll need four coins about this size Dashed lines are hill folds Dotted lines are valley folds

Logic Goats: or-goat

At the heart of the computer is the logic gate. These microscopically small devices, including the and-gate and the or-gate are used to make the computer do its stuff. Each logic gate has one or more inputs and an output, in the case of the and gate the output turns on only only when both of the inputs are turned on. By wiring these gates together in complex ways devices can be made that add or multiply or play music or predict the weather. Logic goats work in the same way; though they may not be able to predict the weather. The goat only nods his head when the blue button OR the red button OR both buttons are pressed.
