Students will develop a basic sense of how computers work by having them act out a simple computer simulation. Each student takes on the role of a different part of a simplified computer and they work in groups to run a simple program. The end result of this program is to draw a picture on a simulated computer display. It is designed for groups of 3 students, although it can be adapted to work as an individual activity or with groups of 2-4. The simulations focuses on the Central Processing Unit (CPU), the Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), and the Display.
