This activity explores the main algorithms that are used as the basis for searching on computers, using different variations on the game of battleships.

Using paper, paper clips, an index card, and tape, teams of learners design flying devices to (1) stay in the air as long as possible and (2) land as close as possible to a given target.

In this activity, learners use cooperation and logical thinking to find solutions to network problems on the playground.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.

This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.
