5 Days of Screen-Free Computational Thinking Activities!

Hello Techies!

I am excited to have you join our Computational Thinking Without Screens mini-course!

Over the next 5 days, you'll receive bite-sized emails with simple, engaging activities to help your child develop essential computational thinking skills—no technology required!

What is Computational Thinking?

Computational thinking is a problem-solving approach that helps children break down complex problems into manageable parts.

These skills form the foundation of coding and digital literacy, but they're also valuable for everyday reasoning, mathematics, science, and creative thinking.

What to Expect

Each day, you'll receive an email with:

• A simple, screen-free activity that takes 15-20 minutes

• Instructions using materials you already have at home

• Explanations of how each activity connects to computational thinking

• Tips for extending learning throughout the day

Our 5-Day Journey

Here's a preview of what we'll explore:

1. Pattern Recognition - Finding and creating sequences

2. Decomposition - Breaking big problems into smaller parts

3. Algorithmic Thinking - Creating step-by-step instructions

4. Debugging - Finding and fixing problems

5. Abstraction - Focusing on what's most important

These foundational skills will help your child think logically and solve problems creatively—both on and off screens!

Your first activity will arrive tomorrow. Get ready for some computational fun that requires zero screen time!
