Welcome to the science behind computer communication! Learners will explore the basics of binary, learn how to count in binary and how binary is used to encode different kinds of information in computers, through a variety of activities.

Using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a provocation for learning, learners explore real-world robots that help protect the environment and are challenged to design a robot to clean-up trash from the schoolyard or a local  outdoor space. This activity can be done in-person or in a virtual setting.

Students will learn some foundational programming concepts and develop computational thinking skills through several screen-free activities.

Learners develop decomposition skills and learn about sequences and repetition by using Scratch to code a drumming sequence.

Learners will use their knowledge of AI to ponder and form questions about the future of AI in the workplace and what role citizens could play in its development for daily use.

Learners will practice and further develop their human emotion and facial recognition skills, similar to how AI programs learn.

Learners will use their knowledge of AI and how facial filters work to explore the pros and cons of this rapidly advancing technology.

Learners develop computational thinking skills through creating a secret handshake.

Learners develop algorithmic thinking by designing and building a freestanding structure that can support an object, using toothpicks and marshmallows

Learners create simple commands to help guide a human "robot" to retrieve an item in the room.

Learners try to guess their partner’s number by asking the least number of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions.

Learners develop debugging and critical thinking skills by fixing a code to help get a rocket ship to the moon

Learners are presented with six solved mathematical problems and must work to debug these problems to determine which are solved correctly and which are not.

Welcome to the science of computational thinking! In this workshop, students learn how to code using a Code and Go Robot Mouse which can be programmed with travel directions to navigate through mazes.

The goal of this activity is for students to program a mouse to get from the starting position to the cheese wedges without going on squares occupied by cats or mouse traps.
