Abstract

We report practice lessons in ‘Computer Science Unplugged' (CS Unplugged) with assisted digital materials. CS Unplugged involves physical or group activities that lead students to computer science, and it is an excellent method of informatics education for beginners. However, such activities are not always easy for all students. Therefore, we designed various digital materials to assist handicapped students with such activities. We also adopted these to the lessons of CS Unplugged at a vocational training school for the disabled. As a result, we observed that the materials effectively assisted students with their lessons.
