The Intelligent Piece of Paper
In this activity from the CS4FN team, learners are introduced to algorithms in the context of artificial intelligence. They are challenged to beat a ‘piece of paper’ at a game of noughts and crosses. By following a simple algorithm, the piece of paper becomes very difficult to beat. The algorithm is a sequence of steps, with decisions made based on the current game state using IF statements. The resource would be well suited for use as a starter activity. Everything needed to run the activity as a front-of-class demo is included.
