Tic Tac Toe ~ Coding Unplugged Challenge ~ STEM

This coding unplugged activity is one of many that I am creating to use in my STEM classroom! We do these coding challenges about once a week. They are great for teaching sequencing and logical reasoning to students. There are no right or wrong answers, and many different solutions will work! You could also rotate these challenges through a science center. I store everything in a dollar store gift bag or plastic tub for each individual coding unplugged challenge.

This tic tac toe challenge is a great intermediate coding challenge! You can extend it by having students come up with a sequence that always wins!

This pack contains just about everything you need to do this challenge! You will need the following items:

Materials: (per classroom)
Tic tac toe grids (laminated for reuse)
Dry erase markers
Symbol chart
Lab Sheet (to record moves)
*There are multiple versions of the lab sheets and game boards to choose from.

There is one challenge included in this pack as well as an extension challenge to test a winning sequence!

Time to Get Coding!
