Beyond the Screen: Engaging Unplugged Activities for Elementary Computer Science
Sunday June 8, 2025 TBA
Make Computer Science accessible, engaging, and inclusive for all students—no screens required! This session explores hands-on, unplugged activities that help young learners grasp fundamental computing concepts in meaningful ways. I’ll share how I used simulations, physical models, and imagination to engage even my most challenging classes.
Students become countries (table groups) working to gain internet access by connecting across oceans with PVC pipes, CS detectives deconstruct old devices to uncover the essential seven components, programmers guide their human robots through step-by-step tasks, and input, processing, storage, and output come to life with physical models. Plus, experience the surprising excitement of a low-prep game show! Discover lessons co-created with students that make Computer Science engaging, inclusive, and possible on little to no budget.

Hands On Computer Science with LEGO Education
Sunday June 8, 2025 TBA
Join us to explore how LEGO Education can support Coloroado Computer Science in the classroom.   Attendees will experience how hands-on computer science activities can enhance cross-curricular learning in this interactive session. Together, we’ll demonstrate how integrating coding, computational thinking, and digital literacy into various subjects boosts critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, while reinforcing core concepts in math, science, and literacy.

Discover the benefits of hands-on learning, where students actively engage with technology to build deeper understanding and retention. You'll gain practical strategies for incorporating these approaches into your curriculum, making lessons more interactive and relevant.

Key Takeaways:
• Benefits of cross-curricular computer science integration
• Advantages of hands-on learning in skill development
• Practical examples and strategies for classroom use
• Resources to support implementation and sample bricks to take home!
