#Find_the_hidden_greenspot_in_the_city  is an unplugged activity, engaging students at 10-11 age to create  a competitive-cooperative game, using the idea of Cody-Roby, that makes them familiarize with the main principles of coding.

  The main idea of the game is students to find the “green spots “of the Sustainable City by following the code. The activity is linked with  11th Sustainable Development Goal (Sustainable Cities and Communities). The activity is going to take place in February 2022 and the duration of this unplugged activity is estimated 4-5hours. At first place, students  worked in pairs in the classroom, working the code on a paper pattern. After that, students continued the unplugged activity at the school yard, on a painted floor with square tiles following the instructions of the code.

This activity has three main objectives: 1) Students will learn how to use the main principles of coding without internet connection while creating a competitive-cooperative game . 2) Students will learn the importance of the renewable energy resources in order to build an inclusive and sustainable city, 3) They will also be able to use this activity repeatedly to consolidate the topic in a funny way by adding more Sustainable Development Goals. Furthermore, students of other classes will be given the opportunity to learn/review the same topic in the future (as “ready-to-use” material).   This “learning-by-doing activity” can help students to raise their motivation and awareness in the learning process  and challenge them  to think deeply about how to select and organize the code steps into coherent structures and  construct their own code game.

Prior knowledge: students have a basic knowledge of  Sustainable Development Goals framework and they will also use  pre unplugged code activity on a paper pattern.
