π Topic Summary
Labels and signs are all around us! They give us information, like what something is or where to go. In computer science, we can think of labels and signs as a type of data. Data is just information that a computer can use. So, when you see a sign that says "STOP," that's data! And when you put a label on your toy box, that's data too! We use these labels to tell the computer (or each other!) what things are and what they mean.
