OVERVIEW Computer Science for K - 5 Who Are The Foos? The Foos are lovable and cute characters recently discovered by scientists. They are very small and live deep inside every computer, including smartphones, tablets and the computers in your class! Each Foo can walk, jump, throw, eat and navigate their world, called “Fooville.” Some Foos have special abilities that make them unique, for example: • Police Foo - can chase and capture the Glitch • Chef Foo - can make many kinds of food • Ninja Foo - can shrink or grow bigger • Astronaut Foo - can travel in four different directions • Construction Foo - can make crates and also blow them up But, just like computers, the Foos only do what they are told. Students must learn to give them specific commands, or program the Foos, in a specific order. Look out! The blue character with the white horns is the Glitch. He is a force of chaos in Fooville. Sometimes he makes a mess, sometimes he throws things around and sometimes he appears unexpectedly. !6
OVERVIEW Computer Science for K - 5 How Do The Foos Help Me Teach Computer Science? Each Foo is like an animated little computer. Students program them to solve problems, gain new abilities and explore Fooville. As the student progresses through the game, the programs required get more complex. Programming helps solve all kinds of problems in the lives of the Foos, just how the skills learned from programming can help solve problems in real life! “The Foos" combines both structured and open-ended experiences to scaffold learning. In addition to our structured levels that teach students how to play “The Foos,” we have several “Toy Box” areas where students can let their imaginations run free by programing various Foos to interact with each other. As students unlock more Foos and abilities in the structured levels, their options for play in the Toy Box areas expand too. Most importantly, Foos are really, really fun to play with! This means students get deeply engaged with sophisticated concepts and look forward to learning more and testing their knowledge of the game and of programming. Computer Science quickly becomes a favorite subject! What Are Some Common Misconceptions About Computer Science? • Computers are smart! - Computers are actually dumb and require specific instructions to work. They just work very quickly. • Computer Science is only programming - CS is actually multidisciplinary that teaches math, problem solving, and logic. • Computer Science is just for boys - Ada Lovelace is considered to be the first computer programmer. The first all electronic computer was programmed by 6 women. !7
