Screen-Free Coding Workshops in Action

This video shows the energy and excitement of my workshops. From kids physically moving through a floor grid to working on tabletop logic games, you can see the variety of screen-free activities I use to make learning computational thinking an active and engaging experience.

This collage captures moments of deep concentration and discovery from my classes. Each child is engaged in a different unplugged activity, from tracing coordinates to solving puzzles, demonstrating my motto: "Learn today, lead tomorrow."

Here I am with a group of students and their parents, sharing a story that incorporates coding concepts. I believe learning is a community activity, and involving parents helps reinforce the lessons at home.

In this photo, you can see children working with my custom "paper laptops." This activity helps them understand the components of a computer and coding interfaces in a tangible, screen-free way, making abstract concepts more concrete.

A young learner is focused on completing a picture puzzle. This isn't just a game; it's an exercise in pattern recognition and problem decomposition, breaking a big picture into smaller, manageable parts, a key skill in computational thinking.

Watch as these students learn about maps and directions using a grid-based city layout. This activity enhances their spatial reasoning and critical thinking as they plan routes and navigate, which is a practical application of algorithmic thinking.

A look back at some of the highlights from my workshops. This video montage shows children participating in a range of activities throughout the year, from solving the Tower of Hanoi puzzle to learning about binary with cards, all with smiles on their faces.

This video shows students matching 2D shapes to their corresponding 3D forms. This activity is crucial for developing spatial awareness and visual discrimination, laying a strong foundation for geometry and abstract thinking.
