Yes We Tech: CS Unplugged

Made by Miss-Bit

Can you think like a computer? What would that mean? Why should you try? Computational thinking "requires understanding the capabilities of computers, formulating problems to be addressed by a computer, and designing algorithms that a computer can execute" (K12 CS Framework). In other words, we use it to solve problems.

Computational thinking is at the heart of computer science. One of the easiest and most engaging ways to introduce it is through unplugged activities. Here are some of my favorites to do with Tech-Girls & at St. Anne's-Belfield School.
