Computational Thinking PO2 – unplugged

This is an example of a Computational Thinking excercise that I have created for students to solve, this one is an “unplugged” activity, which means that it can be solved without using computers.  Below is the resource that I give to the students to complete the task, but the task can easily be set up with pegs and a peg board, or Connect 4 pieces and a chessboard, anything really.  The video below shows how I have done this exercise with carpet tiles and classroom furniture! Just look at the joy the students demonstrate when they solve the problem, this is what learning should be.
