Description
"No chargers? No Wi-Fi? No Problem."
Most Robotics sub plans fail because the tech fails. This No-Prep "Unplugged" Emergency Sub Plan takes the screens away and forces students to think like programmers. From "coding" a human classmate to navigating the murky waters of AI Ethics, this packet is designed to keep Middle and High School students productive, quiet, and engaged for a full 60–90 minute block.
Why Teachers Love It:
- Sub-Friendly: Includes a detailed script for a "Live Demo"—even a sub with zero tech experience will look like a pro.
- Scalable: Perfect for a standard 60-minute period or a 90-minute block.
- Standards-Aligned: Hits key Computer Science (CSTA) standards regarding algorithmic logic and the social impacts of computing.
What’s Included:
- Human Robot Mission: Students write literal "code" for a human partner.
- 3-Level Debugging Challenge: Progressively harder logic puzzles.
- AI Ethics Case Studies: High-interest debates on Self-Driving Cars and Deepfakes.
- Algorithm Awareness Discussion: A guided oral activity about social media and search bias.
- Answer Key: Detailed explanations for every logic puzzle.
