[net.kids] Introducing Cub-scouts to computers

marc@aplvax.UUCP (Marcus H. Gates) (02/14/85)

    I am planning to talk to a group of cub-scouts about computers.
I plan to involve the scouts in games which would help to teach them
how a computer does things and would be interested in any suggestions
for activities that others have found useful. I plan to have a group
write a set of instructions to move a person through an obstacle course
and then have someone else "execute" these instructions while blindfolded.
Hopefully that will demonstrate that computers only do what they are told.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
