Over a year later i return to this course and came up with the same question only to discover my own unanswered question! I have an answer now for anyone that might be wondering...

Simply add: import {ScoreboardContext} from './context' to app.js

then add: console.log(ScoreboardContext) somewhere in the render function, before the return statement.

For the above to work, you also need to export the ScoreboardContext like so:

import React from 'react';
export const ScoreboardContext = React.createContext();  // added export here
export const Provider = ScoreboardContext.Provider;
export const Consumer = ScoreboardContext.Consumer;
