To develop computational thinking unplugged, following the steps to do a recipe is a good start. In this case, one student did the recipe to cook "conductive dough" to be used in other projects. You can follow the instructions of the picture and view the video (in spanish), and later do the buttons explained at Buttons .

In Code.org you can find tutorials to create choreographies, that can be programmed in JavaScript, I ask my students also to "dance" or follow the instructions, as they were robots. These are three examples that respect student's privacy:

Scratch controlled with hand movement, with infrared sensors. It needs ScratchX http://scratchx.org/

Use of Clones, and a behaviour of each clone, in the way that we can simulate pandemia curves (developed during COVID19 period ):

Here is another example that you can control what happens in Scratch window through Webcam and Voice control (developed during COVID19 period ):

With Scratch you can start with Artificial Inteligence, with the webpage https://machinelearningforkids.co.uk/

Here is an example that I did to show that the computer search for my face and place a glasses over my detected eyes:

With Scratch you can also interact with the real world. In this particular case, in a flexible and portable way with Makey Makey GO

With Code you can also create 3D parts with iterative coding and then make them real! Watch here:
