What is an algorithm? What does it mean to write computer code? Can a computer mimic the natural world?
In this two-part program, explore these questions and more as students create a beaded artifact and learn how to find computer programming ideas in nature and culture. This program incorporates the use of a bead loom with pony beads to understand algorithms, patterns and loops, designs, and sequences.Students will first have a 20-minute pre-recorded video session, followed by a 60-minute in-person session at the TELUS World of Science—Edmonton.
