Unplugged activity
An unplugged activity is an activity that takes place away from the computer - in other words, “unplugged” from a device. This course introduces new concepts in a fun way that gets kids up and moving, often reacting and interacting with other students face-to-face while playing a game or completing a challenge.
Each computer program is designed from building blocks. The three types of building blocks of a program are, in ascending order of difficulty:
- Sequence (Sequence is the order in which the instructions of a computer program are executed and processed.)
- Selection (In programming, there are often situations when it is necessary to make a decision. And the selected decision will be further processed by the computer. The process of making a decision is called selection.)
- Iteration (This last concept is more complex but very fascinating. There are cases when the program needs to repeat the instructions several times until a specific condition is met.The instructions that should be repeated must first be recognized so that an efficient program can then be created. To teach this concept, it is crucial to develop children's ability to recognize patterns.)
