Computer Science - Ciphers, binary and algorithms [Grades 3, 4, 5]
I believe in learning through making, discovery and personal projects. Children learn best when they are invested in what they are learning and discovering for themselves. This computer science course lets children discover computer science concepts for themselves. Children try to crack codes and come up with their own cyphers. Computer thinking is also introduced by thinking how you would instruct a computer to make a cup of tea (see intro video). The lessons involve a lot of "learning by doing

OK, not real contact, but more fun than most recess games.
Nim and nim-like games have existed ever since – well.... ever since games. The beauty of nim-like games lies in their physical simplicity (a pile of pebbles or pennies, and easy rules) and their mathematical complexity.
From simple (but sometimes frustrating) subtraction strategy to complex number theory and computer code generation, NIM is a great game for Kindergarten (take away) thro
