SESSIONTITLEOBJECTIVEACTIVITY DESCRIPTIONPROTOCOLSETTING
1CODING WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY (CODING UNPLUGGED)Introduce children to the laboratory and familiarize them with the basic concepts of algorithmic thinking: start, end, and command sequencing.• Minutes 0-10: Welcome the children, form a circle, and briefly introduce today’s activity.

• Minutes 10-80: Coding unplugged "Play and Stop" game. Introduce basic commands with cards, practice Play/Stop actions, and play a programmer/robot game with increasing difficulty.

• Minutes 80-90: Reflective discussion on sharing, laterality, and spatial movement in programming concepts.

2CODING WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY (CODING UNPLUGGED)Familiarize with the movement of an object on a grid, understanding the concepts of sequence and laterality.• Minutes 0-10: Welcome the children, form a circle, and briefly present today's activity.

• Minutes 10-80: Coding unplugged activity on a paper grid. Create command sequences, cut and color materials, analyze commands, and develop increasing difficulty routes.
