Outcomes, not lecture notes.
Decompose real-world tasks into precise, step-by-step instructions the way a computer processes commands
Write and execute sequences of directions for physical objects and people, building intuition for how code actually runs
Identify and debug errors in instruction sets by tracing where a sequence breaks down and correcting it
Apply core programming logic — including sequencing, loops, and conditionals — through hands-on games and movement activities
Translate physical manipulative exercises into an understanding of how algorithms function in real computer programs
Communicate instructions with the clarity and specificity that programming demands, eliminating ambiguity at every step
Develop analytical problem-solving habits that transfer directly to formal coding languages and computer science coursework

Alexandria Agresta is a dynamic Learning and Development specialist with a proven record in instructional design and leadership coaching. With over 10 years of experience crafting engaging training programs and curricula that enhance organizational performance, she blends innovative techniques with a learner‑first mindset to create scalable, inclusive educational experiences that drive measurable growth.
Unplugged Coding Camp proves you don't need a screen to learn how to think like a programmer. Using art, movement, games, and everyday household objects, students discover the core logic behind computer science — commands, sequences, conditionals, and debugging — through hands-on physical activities that make abstract concepts click. This camp is perfect for curious beginners who want a real introduction to coding before they ever type a line of code, as well as younger students who learn best by doing, building, and moving. Guided by an expert instructor, students will write instructions for real people and objects, hunt down errors in step-by-step processes, and experience firsthand how computers "think." The skills built here — precise communication, logical sequencing, and systematic problem-solving — don't just lay the groundwork for future coding courses. They sharpen the analytical thinking that makes students stronger learners across every subject.
