Learning goals

By the end of the tutorial, participants will be able to:

• Explain core data structures using physical and visual models.
• Facilitate hands-on activities that surface invariants and trade-offs.
• Connect manipulative-based experiences to code, diagrams, and assessments.
• Adapt activities for different student ages and classroom constraints.
• Identify common misconceptions and use targeted prompts to address them.

Outcomes for participants

• A facilitation-ready set of activities
• A curated list of discussion prompts and checkpoints
• Guidance for mapping activities to learning objectives
