Course description

Course overview:

Computing is much more than just using computers. The principles of computer science, on which the computing curriculum is based, include looking for patterns, being logical, being accurate, being concise, using ‘abstraction’ and ‘decomposition’, and much more. In this practical session we will look at a range of simple yet challenging (but always enjoyable)
activities that can be completed by all ages with NO COMPUTER
in sight!

 

Learning outcomes:

  • Develop a sound knowledge of the computing curriculum, including understanding the principles of computer science and how they

  • can be applied across the curriculum

  • Experience practical activities that can be used in class the next day

  • Appreciate, through experience, that computing and computer science can be practical, engaging and fun!

  • Understand how to develop computational thinking through engaging games, music and puzzles that use cards, string, crayons and lots of physical activity.

  • Perform magic!
