[Year 12 IT Apps] Algorithms

[Roland Gesthuizen]

I had lots of fun running some of these at a Monash University coding workshop on Friday. This brief slideshow shows one of the sorting activities. Contact me (off list) if you are interested  for us to offer this workshop for your school or primary schools.
