Work-in-Progress: Using a Scavenger Hunt to Tackle Challenges of CS1: Computational Thinking, Analyzing Code, and Debugging

“…The clues would be posted on a Google Drive (OneDrive or similar) in PDF format. The answers would provide a link to the next clue (i.e., file names, clickable links, or QR codes [13]). The final clue could link to a letter, video by the professor, or an online Zoom (or Google Meet) session for wrap-up interaction.…”

Workshop: Let’s Talk to Our Rubber Ducks: A Unique Approach to Tackling Computational Thinking, Analyzing Code, and Debugging using a Scavenger Hunt

“…This workshop will cover background on key concepts discussed (rubber duck debugging, computational thinking, and code analysis), the importance of learning debugging techniques, the specifics of the Computer Science 1 (CS1) scavenger hunt, hints and tips for adapting this for other programming languages, adapting this to courses outside of the computing field, and hints and tips for creating an online version [1] or a version for a course with large enrollment. The workshop session facilitators believe in active learning techniques.…”
