From the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) comes TryComputing.org, a collection of resources designed to engage youth in computer science. K-12 instructors may want to start by checking out the Lesson Plan section, which features 28 lesson plans as of this write up. In Choose Your Best Way, middle school and high school students build their own mathematical model to help them solve problems, and, in the process, learn about computer algorithm. Another lesson, Networks, engages middle school learners with the concepts behind graph theory via a number of interactive, kinesthetic activities. Meanwhile, in the Career Profiles section, visitors can read a collection of short interviews with individuals who work in different careers related to computer science, from academia to game development to engineering, and more.
