Code AI: CS Fundamentals

Series

Code AI: CS Fundamentals

12 episodes

Concept videos from Code.org free elementary computer science courses, one to six minutes each. The Real-Life Algorithms shorts unplug the idea completely, ordering the steps for planting a seed, folding a paper airplane, or running a dice game, and the debugging video reframes troubleshooting as something students already do in every subject. For older grades, the six-part How Computers Work series goes under the hood: what every computer shares, binary, circuits and logic gates, CPU and memory, hardware versus software. A plain explainer on what the internet actually is rounds it out and sets up any online-safety work.
