Image Representation - Computer Science Unplugged
http://csunplugged.org/image-representation
Class Simulation of a Computer. Images are everywhere on computers. Some are obvious, like photos on web pages and icons on buttons, but others are more subtle: a font is really a collection of images of characters, and a fax machines is really a computer that is good at scanning and printing. Instructions for Image Representation activity (English). Persian (Farsi) language Version. Portugese (Brazil) Language Version. Activity explained at Fujitsu Kids event with JOI, Japan. Sam fills in the rest of th...

Finite State Automata - Computer Science Unplugged
http://csunplugged.org/finite-state-automata
Class Simulation of a Computer. Finite state automata (FSAs) sound complicated, but the basic idea is as simple as drawing a map. This fun activity is based around a fictitious pirate story which leads to the unlikely topic of reasoning about patterns in sequences of characters. Instructions for Finite State Automata activity (English). Portugese (Brazil) Language Version. Extra – An indoor version of this activity as an interactive powerpoint. Courtesy of Tom Cortina (CMU).

Binary Numbers - Computer Science Unplugged
http://csunplugged.org/binary-numbers
Class Simulation of a Computer. The binary number system plays a central role in how information of all kinds is stored on computers. Understanding binary can lift a lot of the mystery from computers, because at a fundamental level they’re really just machines for flipping binary digits on and off. There are several activities on binary numbers in this document, all simple enough that they can be used to teach the binary system to anyone who can count! Instructions for Binary Numbers activity (English).

Sorting Networks - Computer Science Unplugged
http://csunplugged.org/sorting-networks
Class Simulation of a Computer. To make computers go faster, it can be a lot more effective to have several slower computers working on a problem than a single fast one. This raises questions about how much of the computation can be done at the same time. Here we use a fun team activity to demonstrate an approach to parallel sorting. It can be done on paper, but we like to get students to do it on a large scale, running from node to node in the network. Instructions for Sorting Networks activity (English).

Greenfoot is an IDE for Java programming that allows you to create simulations or games. Greenfoot Hubs are institutions providing local Greenfoot expertise, training and other events. I am privileged to serve as the Ohio Hub. The Greenfoot Gallery is a forum to publish, use and discuss computer programs (games, animations, or anything else). The Greenroom is a community site for teachers using Greenfoot to share experiences and material, and to offer a platform for discussion and support.
