Martin Luther King Jr. Day Computer Science Activities Bundle

Do you need computer science algorithms and coding activities? Are you looking for a fun way to incorporate coding and teach about Martin Luther King Jr. in your classroom?

This bundle includes my Maze and Racing Game Activities with Martin Luther King Jr themes.

• Maze activities teach algorithms and the importance of step-by-step instructions. Students help a character complete tasks on a grid, followed by writing a program.
• The racing game format allows multiple students to play, creating different outcomes each time. Providing numerous programming skills, such as repeat and loops and bugs.
