Programming Jigsaw Puzzle Activity

Created by

Bring algorithms to life with this interactive, unplugged classroom activity! In this collaborative lesson, students work in groups to solve a physical puzzle — but before they start, they must write and follow their own pseudocode algorithm. As they work, they’ll experience firsthand how sequencing, selection, and iteration apply to problem-solving in computer science. Afterward, students reflect on their “debugging” process and connect their experience to real programming concepts. 🧠 St
