- Conditionals – Create the rules to play a card game. Could also make a dice game.
- Binary Bracelets – Create bracelets from paper template that is representation of first letter of their name.
- Computational Thinking – Use steps of CT (Decompose, Pattern Match, Abstract, Algorithm) to figure out how to play a game that comes with no instructions.
- Functional Sun-catchers – Create an algorithm with functions (pieces of code that you want to use over and over again) to create sun-catchers using string and beads.
- Songwriting with Parameters – Use concept of the chorus in a song to learn about functions.
- Real Life Algorithms – Dice Race< Identify and write down the algorithm for a dice race game./li>
- Internet – Send messages representing Internet transmission methods using paper.
- Crowd sourcing – Use a problem-solving technique common in computer science to complete a task as a classroom, which is more efficient than doing it alone.
