Computer Science Unplugged - FREE Resource


Computer Science... without a Computer!

Free activities for classroom or home

CS Unplugged is a collection of free learning activities that teach Computer Science through engaging games and puzzles that use cards, string, crayons and lots of running around.
The activities introduce students to underlying concepts such as binary numbers,algorithms and data compression, separated from the distractions and technical details we usually see with computers.
CS Unplugged is suitable for people of all ages, from elementary school to seniors, and from many countries and backgrounds. Unplugged has been used around the world for over fifteen years, in classrooms, science centers, homes, and even for holiday events in a park!

Our Computer Elective

KM choose to do an elective unit on computers this session so we have been mixing and matching resources together and so far we have had an awful lot of fun taking apart an old laptop...




So far we have been using the Usborne Computer Dictionary, Usborne Computer Graphics and Animation and Brain Pop! It should be really interesting for all of us!
If you have any interesting resources to share - PLEASE DO!
