Puzzles and paradoxes for Algorithmic thinking
Abstract:
The next generation of kids will learn Algorithms in high school itself. The premise of Algorthmic
Sports is to expose kids to algorithms by playing "new sports" on the ground or inside a large hall!
Playing sports such as quickly sorting themselves will involve running around and coordination among
players.
*) This is good for kids' physical and mental health.
*) Kids want to win while playing a sport. This will organically expose them to algorithmic thinking.
*) Classroom teaching becomes easier since students are now keen to learn winning strategies.
