Coding or programming activities develop critical thinking and communication skills that are vital to all STEM career pathways. Before moving to coding robots or computer applications, teachers can use unplugged activities with minimal supplies to introduce basic coding and build communication skills. Students learn the challenges of verbal or written commands in trying to have their partner build an object.
