Beats Empire

0.0 stars

The PFACS game engages students in playing the role of a music producer who must use data and computational thinking to promote their artist’s careers. “Data and Analysis” is one of five strands in the CS K-12 Framework — and it is a strand that readily bridges to mathematics and science content that you already teach. By giving students time to play the game and then having related classroom discussions, you can gain insight into your students’ progress in understanding these concepts.

This game does NOT require any coding skills nor knowledge of any programming language. It is about making choices using computational thinking concepts, not about writing code.

Beats Empire was designed for teachers:

In middle schools classrooms
That integrate data science, computational thinking and related concepts
For about an hour of use spread over 2-3 class periods
Where students have access to any computer, laptop or desktop, with Chrome or Firefox browser (not recommended for tablets or phones).
The key goals of Beats Empire are:

Students explore how their data skills addresses a real world challenge
Students gain career awareness of attractive data science jobs
Teachers increase their understanding of what students know and can do

In this week 1 of 6 hyperdocs, students are presented a problem and solve it through the use of one of the Computational Thinking strategies. This lesson is designed with K-5 in mind, and can be adapted to meet the needs of any classroom.Week 1 Problem: James has just learned that he has to stay inside for a few weeks and can’t play with his friends. He has an iPad, but his mom said he can only have it for 30 minutes a day. He also has toys, but says he is bored of them and has nothing fun to do. His mom said he could have anything in her craft room, but he doesn’t know what to do with the boxes, string, fabric, tape, sticks, and paint.  What can James do to make his day fun?This lesson is part of the Virginia K-12 Computer Science Pipeline which is partly funded through a GO Virginia grant in partnership with Chesapeake Public Schools, Loudoun County Public Schools, and the Loudoun Education Foundation.

Rating
0.0 stars

This video module presents an introduction to cryptography - the method of sending messages in such a way that only the intended recipients can understand them. In this very interactive lesson, students will build three different devices for cryptography and will learn how to encrypt and decrypt messages. There are no prerequisites for this lesson, and it has intentionally been designed in a way that can be adapted to many audiences. It is fully appropriate in a high school level math or computer science class where the teacher can use it to motivate probability/statistics or programming exercises. nteractive lesson, students will learn to build the cryptography devices and will learn how to send and ''crack'' secret messages.
