Hong Ji-yeon et al.: Unplugged Play Coding Board Game

What is Unplugged? It is a play-based educational approach developed by Professor Tim Bell and his colleagues in New Zealand. It allows learners to understand the principles of computers and computer science through fun games using readily available materials, without the need for a computer, while also fostering computational thinking skills to solve problems. Board games help cultivate the ability to analyze and judge given situations, devise winning strategies, and solve problems. Coding board games, which add coding elements to these educational board games, develop not only basic control structures such as sequence, repetition, and selection, but also algorithm design skills and computational thinking. This book is structured so that children can easily follow along with each game step-by-step using photos and illustrations. Part 1 introduces coding board games such as "The Condition of the Ring" and "RoboShop," which are suitable for use in conjunction with the school curriculum. Part 2 is designed to allow learners to study various areas of computers, including data science concepts and principles, and information literacy education, by providing a coding board that can be used immediately with just the book, without the need to purchase the games. With the "Unplugged Play Coding Board Game," you can become familiar with software that once seemed difficult, and learn algorithms, concepts, and principles. Additionally, through fun games, you can develop independent thinking skills and improve your problem-solving methods and concentration.
