Learning to code without a computer may seem illogical, but it makes perfect sense. Unplugging the computer and teaching coding through more familiar mediums such as hands-on activities, can make the subject less intimidating and more interactive.
In the grand scheme of things, the basic principles of coding teach metacognition, problem-solving, and abstract thinking. These are valuable skills to have even if a career in computer programming isn’t in the immediate future. We’ve compiled a list of our favorite hands-on coding activities from our Pinterest Board, Coding Unplugged, so you can have fun coding in a variety of ways!
