- What does "unplugged" mean?
To participate, pupils need access to join us live (via school or at home) but the tasks will be “unplugged” which means that to take part in the challenge activities, they won’t need to use a computer, just a pen and paper.
Although there is no computer involved, they will be encouraged and challenged to computationally think whilst having lots of fun and learning new skills.
With the unplugged activities focused on addressing sustainability, students will complete tasks that solve problems just like our engineers often have to do.
