Spies and Algorithms: The Ultimate Dream Team

Students will become spies by learning about, writing, and evaluating the strengths of others’ algorithms to solve challenges. They will write narratives (spy reports) and explore what it means to be creative, detailed, imaginative, and precise.
What Your Students Will Learn

Students will become international spies, solving challenges by evaluating their classmates’ algorithms. They will also learn about classic codes that will serve their larger narrative reports.
