Description
Coding 101 introduces the ideas behind computer science, with no computer needed. Children encode their initials into a binary necklace, race the clock to sort objects by weight using real sorting algorithms, and build an encryption device to explore how secret messages have been hidden, past and present.
They also write a simple program to guide a friend through a hidden maze and crack codes to reveal pixelated pictures, learning how computers follow instructions step by step.
- Activities: binary necklace, sorting algorithms, encryption device, maze programming, pixel pictures
- Learning areas: coding, computing, logic
