Overview:
In computer science, we face some big, daunting problems. Challenges such as finding large prime numbers or sequencing DNA are almost impossible to do as an individual. Adding the power of others makes these tasks manageable. This lesson will show your students how helpful teamwork can be in the industry of computer science.
It's very rare that one computer scientist works completely alone on a project. Even when that does happen, there is always a benefit in numbers. Today, students will learn what it means to crowdsource a project. This activity builds teamwork and creates an efficient environment for students to solve problems.
Students will be able to:- identify a large task that needs to be done.- rearrange a large task into several smaller tasks.- build a complete solution from several smaller solutions.
