Unplugged Tots: Introduce Children to the Foundations of Computer Coding - Paperback

by Hannah Hagon (Author)

Break down big problems into smaller parts, play pattern detectives, turn tasks into adventures, put things in the right order, and explore the world!​

Prepare children to be the problem-solvers, inventors, engineers, scientists, and technologists of tomorrow by equipping them with foundational skills today. Through accessible, fun, and engaging activities, Unplugged Tots helps parents, teachers, and caregivers introduce computational thinking skills to pre-school aged children.​

These play-based activities will give children a head start in the world of technology and offers opportunities for more screen-free quality time together -- no computer, tablet, or mobile phone needed!​

This book: ​

• Requires no prior technical knowledge​
• Facilitates learning through structured play​
• Helps teach pre-computer coding skills to children aged 21/2 to 8 years​
• Includes tips to simplify and extend the activities based on a child's ability, interest, or attention span​

Just like learning an additional language, the process of learning digital skills has numerous benefits for children, including improved communication, greater confidence, and perhaps the most important skill of all: the ability to learn from failure.​

The activities are scaffolded, meaning every child can start with the basics and follow the fun as they progress to other levels.
