Hour of Code 2019: Unplugged Level 1 Hour of Code 2019: Unplugged Level 2

Hour of Code 2019: Unplugged

Practice computational thinking through a series of puzzles. Each Hour of Code packet includes activities that require decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms. Solve all the puzzles to reveal the final answer at the end; no robot required!


Hour of Code 2019: Unplugged packets are available in Level 1 and Level 2.

Educational Standards

CSTA K-12 CS Standards

1A-DA-07

Identify and describe patterns in data visualizations, such as charts or graphs, to make predictions.

1A-AP-08

Model daily processes by creating and following algorithms (sets of step-by-step instructions) to complete tasks.

1A-AP-09

Model the way programs store and manipulate data by using numbers or other symbols to represent information.

1A-AP-10

Develop programs with sequences and simple loops, to express ideas or address a problem.

1A-AP-11

Decompose (break down) the steps needed to solve a problem into a precise sequence of instructions.

1A-AP-14

Debug (identify and fix) errors in an algorithm or program that includes sequences and simple loops.

1B-AP-08

Compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is the most appropriate.

1B-AP-09

Create programs that use variables to store and modify data.

1B-AP-10

Create programs that include sequences, events, loops, and conditionals.

1B-AP-11

Decompose (break down) problems into smaller, manageable subproblems to facilitate the program development process.

1B-AP-15

Test and debug (identify and fix errors) a program or algorithm to ensure it runs as intended.

2-AP-12

Design and iteratively develop programs that combine control structures, including nested loops and compound conditionals.

2-AP-13

Decompose problems and subproblems into parts to facilitate the design, implementation, and review of programs.

2-AP-14

Create procedures with parameters to organize code and make it easier to reuse.
