"In this 45-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of pattern recognition.
Pattern Recognition occurs when you can identify patterns. When you identify patterns, you can create rules that allow actions to be repeated automatically. Pattern recognition can also improve how quickly a problem can be solved."
The teacher's guide walks you through exactly how to use the broadcast in your classroom.
As part of their reporting process, they are required to report on participation and impact of our programs. If you could please take a moment to complete the following short survey with your students, it would be greatly appreciated.

In this 45-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of testing and evaluating.
Testing involves trying something and observing what happens.Evaluation is about using critical thinking and judgment to determine if a set of criteria are met. If not, then correction or improvement may be required. Computer programming tends to be an interactive process in which testing and evaluating are constantly occurring.
A teacher guide is also included.

"Callysto is a free, multimodal learning program for grades 5-12 students in Canada. The program is part of a two-year pilot project by Cybera and the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences (PIMS), who received funding from the federal government’s CanCode program to build and employ new technologies that promote digital literacy and help Canada’s youth develop the foundational skills required to become the future drivers of innovation."
Learning modules are available for Math, ELA, Science, Social, etc.

"Build your library’s capacity to help youth gain skills for the future
The Ready to Code Collection provides resources and strategies for coding and computational thinking activities that are grounded in research, aligned with library core values, and support broadening participation."
"Taking up the mantel for helping students learn coding, the Libraries Ready to Code project is an initiative of the American Library Association and sponsored by Google. The Ready to Code Collection provides resources for librarians based on their own expertise. Resources can be browsed by different topics and include such support as lesson plans and professional development on topics as diverse as design thinking, robotics and storyline." (AASL)
The Little Book of Semaphores is a free (in both senses of the word) textbook that introduces the principles of synchronization for concurrent programming.In most computer science curricula, synchronization is a module in an Operating Systems class. OS textbooks present a standard set of problems with a standard set of solutions, but most students don't get a good understanding of the material or the ability to solve similar problems.The approach of this book is to identify patterns that are useful for a variety of synchronization problems and then show how they can be assembled into solutions. After each problem, the book offers a hint before showing a solution, giving students a better chance of discovering solutions on their own.The book covers the classical problems, including "Readers-writers," "Producer-consumer", and "Dining Philosophers." In addition, it collects a number of not-so-classical problems, some written by the author and some by other teachers and textbook writers. Readers are invited to create and submit new problems.
"In this 45-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of abstraction.
Abstraction reduces how hard a problem or task is by focusing on what's important. We do that by deciding what the important information is and then removing all the unnecessary details. Abstraction is also used when we want to have one object or word stand for an action."

Do you want your class to be part of Canada’s Space program?
With the Lunar Rover Research Challenge, students could control a Canadensys rover in a mock-lunar environment by winning this low-prep, high-impact competition. Canadensys recently received a contract from the Canadian Space Agency to send a rover to the moon as early as 2026.
You can do the project in 3-4 hours for a classroom experience or 6+ hours to compete.
Game-based!
