About Us

The original CS Unplugged activities are appropriate for a range of ages from elementary school and up. We have adapted the lesson plans to primarily target middle school students.

Our desired outcomes for students are that they:

Show an interest in computing.
Gain confidence that they understand computing topics.
Understand the fundamental computing concepts presented to them, and
Recognize that there is a range of career opportunities in computing.

Our desired outcomes for educators are that they:

Use CS Unplugged in their classrooms.
Understand the concepts being taught, and
Feel confident teaching CS Unplugged activities.

Our motivation for this site is to provide a cohesive set of learning resources for educators who want to integrate these enrichment activities into the classroom.
