Core values

- **Promotes Computer Science Education**: CS Unplugged introduces key concepts of computational thinking to young people, especially in areas where access to computers is limited, thus promoting computer science education globally[4][5].
- **Inclusive and Accessible**: The activities are designed to be inclusive, adaptable to local cultures, and do not require computers, making them accessible to a wide range of students, including those in developing countries or with limited resources[4][5].
- **Constructivist Approach**: The project uses a constructivist approach, encouraging students to construct their own knowledge through hands-on activities, which enhances their self-efficacy and engagement in learning[3][4].
- **Reduces Screen Time and Promotes Physical Activity**: The activities are kinaesthetic, providing a break from screen time and promoting physical exercise, which contributes to overall well-being[3][4].
- **Addresses Misconceptions and Captures Imagination**: CS Unplugged helps address common misconceptions about computer science and captures students' imagination, making the discipline more appealing and intellectually stimulating[4].
