Abstract:
Computer Science Unplugged is a project that seeks to teach principles of computer science without using computers. It can be used in conjunction with computer courses, in classrooms, and in situations where access to computers is limited. This seminar describes activities that Computer Science academics can use to demonstrate principles of computer science to school children in a variety of settings, and as a warm up for university courses. These activities are “unplugged” — no computers are required.
We will describe how “Unplugged” material can be used for school outreach, and some evaluation and lessons learned over the years will be presented.
