Science Beading & Coding - Mailout

Explore Computer Science through an Indigenous Lens!

In this pre-recorded program, students will explore computer science through an Indigenous lens. They will delve into questions such as: What is an algorithm? How can sequences and loops be applied to both beading and coding? Can a computer mimic the natural world? Students can ponder these questions and more as they create a beaded artifact and discover how computer programming concepts intersect with nature and culture. The program utilizes a bead loom with pony beads to facilitate an understanding of algorithms, patterns, loops, designs, and sequences.

This program caters to Grades 3-12, with separate videos available for grades 3-6 and grades 7-12

Cost:

$225 per class. Includes 20 beading kits. Additional beading kits are $3.50 each.

Includes:

• Access to pre-recorded Beading and Coding video tutorial.
• Beading looms that have been prepared with yarn
• Child-safe beading needles
• Pony beads in multiple colours
• Delivery cost to ship materials to your school

*Students will need access to scissors and colouring supplies.

The tutorial will guide your students through all the steps to create a beaded bracelet or keychain. When registering, teachers please specify the two weeks you would like access to the video. During those two weeks, your class can work through beading at their own pace.
