Abstract

In this paper we propose the structure of an exploratory course in theoretical computer science intended for a broad range of students (and especially kids). The course is built on computational cards, a simple paper toy, in which playing cards are computational elements; computing machines can be defined, built and animated in a concrete way by disposing cards and moving objectified symbols on top of them, following formal rules. We provide details and examples of the kind of exercises to be used in such a course. Advantages of c-cards and motivations behind the course are also discussed.
用纸玩具探索理论计算机科学(儿童)
在本文中,我们提出了一个探索性的理论计算机科学课程的结构,旨在为广泛的学生(尤其是孩子)。本课程以计算卡牌为基础,这是一种简单的纸玩具,其中纸牌是计算元素;计算机可以按照形式规则,通过放置卡片和在卡片上移动客观符号,以具体的方式定义、构建和激活。我们提供了在这门课程中使用的练习的细节和示例。讨论了c-卡的优点和课程背后的动机。
