How does that device in your hands actually work? This session will highlight the CS Unplugged curriculum I currently use in my 5th grade classroom, however I have taught it at the 9-12 level in the past and it can be adapted for younger grades as well. This curriculum is a progression of hands-on and interactive activities using basic props, but no computers. During our session, we will explore topics from binary numbers and searching/sorting algorithms to cryptography (code breaking) and artificial intelligence. This is the first in a multi-part series presented throughout the day. It is recommended to attend the whole series if possible, but each portion could be attended on its own if needed.
