Grade 1 - Grade 3The premise of this experiment is that wind around us can be harnessed, and used for many purposes. It’s a first step to understanding the concepts of renewable energy as well as the historical uses of wind power, and is a starting point to help learners grasp the potential of renewable energy sources.
Primary - Grade 3In this lesson, students learn coding basics by building a rudimentary understanding of command codes, sequences, and loops.
Primary - Grade 3In this lesson, students learn how a computer can be taught to categorize objects. This is something students already have experience with.
Grade 1 - Grade 3Serious games are games whose primary purpose is education and training as opposed to entertainment. They take advantage of the ability of computer games to attract and engage players/learners for a specific purpose, such as to develop new knowledge or skills.
Grade 1 - Grade 3In the primary division, students are in the early stages of developing their sense of self, while also learning to identify and manage their emotions and feelings.
Primary - AdultSee what Pinnguaq is offering for online learning at home for the week of June 22nd to 26th.
Grade 1 - Grade 3This unplugged coding activity challenges you to encode different words into binary code. In this activity you will explore the computational thinking methods of decomposition. You will break down the word or words you select into single letters and encode it into Binary code using the Binary Code Key to create a secret message!
Primary - Grade 8Watering your plants evenly throughout is almost impossible so use mother nature as an example and build your own aquifer!

Primary - Grade 3These unplugged activities are geared towards a younger audience with the intention of introducing basic coding concepts.
In this series, the basics of Scratch will be introduced to provide learners with the foundational skills required to begin creating in Scratch.
Primary - Grade 12Step by step coding can be a very difficult process to go through, even the tiniest mistake can result in a bug that crashes the game. A great way to display this is through cooking, and what better food than pizza!
Primary - Grade 3This unplugged coding activity challenges learners to decode their own puzzles. In this activity, learners will explore the computational methods of pattern recognition and algorithmic thinking.
Primary - AdultSee what Pinnguaq is offering for online learning at home for the week of June 1st to 5th.
Grade 1 - Grade 3This unplugged coding activity challenges learners to decode a secret message written in binary code. In this activity learners will explore the computational thinking methods of decomposition. Learners will break down the binary code to represent single letters then arrange them in the blanks to uncover the secret message.
Primary - Grade 4Let us send you some code in the mail! Explore the basics of computer programming by examining what effect a random selection of code will have. This is a unique and fun way to introduce the scratch programming language.
Primary - Grade 12See what Pinnguaq is offering for online learning at home for the week of May 25th to 29th.
Grade 1 - Grade 6In this activity learners will create their very own race car using recycled and other materials. Learners will also explore the idea of storing energy in an elastic band and how we can use that energy to move their engineered race car forward.
Primary - Grade 3This unplugged activity is geared towards a younger audience and focuses on sequences. Learners will further explore sequences and how we can recognize them all around us such as in storybooks!
Grade 1 - Grade 12In this short tutorial, you will learn how to use Scratch’s “Backpack” feature to move code and sprites between projects.
Primary - Grade 3Storytelling can come in many forms and can convey the same message in different ways. This activity will highlight visual storytelling through recycled material found throughout the household.
Primary - Grade 12See what Pinnguaq is offering for online learning at home for the week of May 18th to May 22nd.
Grade 1 - Grade 3This unplugged activity is an outdoor activity that is geared towards a younger audience and focuses on algorithms. Learners will further explore algorithms and how they are used in our daily routines. Learners will design their own algorithms that will be used to guide people across a hopscotch court.
