Students simulate sending a secret message to a friend via the internet, attempting to deliver the message safely and securely.

A robot can execute very primitive commands, but it needs instructions to combine them. In this lesson plan, look at two types of instructions: commands and conditionals. Young scholars split into pairs and one becomes a robot while the...

A basic introductory course to computer science. Covers what computers are, their parts, and what they do; what the Internet is and how it works; some basic programming concepts; algorithms; data analysis; and global impact of computers...

Students experience what is it like to be computer programmers through the children's computer coding game, Scratch, developed by MIT engineers.

Through attempts to perform tasks in sync with each other, students experience the computer science challenges of concurrency and synchronization.

Introduce students to the working capability of the CPU of a computer. Look at instructions given to the processor to do simple arithmetic functions and how registers are used.

How are the numbers stored in a computer? Have students think of binary as a set of bulbs with on and off states. Take a look at how many numbers can be represented with a limited set of bulbs.

Students simulate a server and are connected via computer networks. Representatives from each table act as routers, and as they write messages to each other, the routers help route these messages.

Take a a look at examples of functions, and then explore functions representing arithmetic operations followed by boolean and string types. Throughout the workshop children do various assignments calculating function result or drawing a...

Teach young children the basics of computer science and computational thinking skills through this collection of ready to use presentations aimed to engage young learners.

Experience what it's like to work in the field of technology, and take on something never done before. Brainstorm, prototype, plan, implement, work in a team, coordinate between teams, learn from failures or enjoy a success.

In this presentation show how fast web search is implemented. Create sample web pages, then have crawlers collect these pages, sorters sort them, and searchers retrieve the information.

Young scholars learn about data sorting, and by what criteria can one sort things by different algorithms such as selection, insertion and bubble sort.
