Not only are games a great way of connecting with other people, but they are also a chance to be playful and adaptive in the face of a challenge. In this unplugged activity*, you will create algorithms-or sets of instructions-by telling a player how to recreate a drawing you made. In a program, algorithms are how we communicate to the computer what we want it to do. Once you’ve played a few rounds, we’ll show you how to mod the game (change it up) to make it your own! Before you start playing, we recommend checking out the featured Woman in Tech Spotlight, Danielle Forward. Danielle works as a Product Designer at Facebook and founded Natives Rising, an organization that raises awareness about Native American role models in tech and design through mentorship programs.  \nMaterials  \n● Another player. You need at least two people, but this game works for a big group as well. This game doesn’t require you to be physically next to the people you are playing with, so you can play it with friends or family on your next virtual hangout!  \n● Algorithmic Artist Game Planning Guide  \n● Paper  \n● Pen or pencil and/or markers  \n*This game is based on Block Talk by the Institute of Play.  \nWomen in Tech Spotlight: Danielle Forward  \nFirst came art, then came technology. As a child, Danielle was fascinated with Japanese comics, animations, and pencil drawings. Using her skills, she eventually decided to pursue Graphic Design in college. She switched to Interaction Design when she realized the growing potential of technology to solve human problems.  \nAs a current Product Designer at Facebook, Danielle works with [Internet.org](Internet.org) and other social platforms to spread civic and social awareness to millions of users. Danielle is also the founder of Natives Rising, an organization that raises awareness about Native American role models in tech and design through mentorship programs.  \nYou can read more about Danielle's journey from her own perspective in the article, 10 Questions with Danielle Forward. We really like her answer to question \\#5! Check out this video about Natives Rising to learn more about the organization Danielle founded.  \nReflect  \nBeing a computer scientist is more than just being great at coding. Take some time toreflect on how Danielle and her work relates to the strengths that great computer scientists focus on building-bravery, resilience, creativity, and purpose.  \n\n| \u003Cbr>RESILIENCE | It took Danielle ten years to graduate with a BFA, and she talks a lot about her perseverance, patience, and planning.\u003Cbr>What are challenges you have faced in your life? What methods and tools did you use to work through those challenges? |\n| --- | --- |\n\nShare your responses with a family member or friend. Encourage others to read more about Danielle to join in the discussion!  \nStep 1: Get Started (5 mins)  \nGather your materials and players in a spot that is good for drawing-the kitchen counter, living room coffee table, desk, etc. If you’re playing with a friend virtually, connect with them over a video chat app and make sure that they have the Algorithmic Artist Planning Guide.  \nOnce you're set up, it’s time to start building those drawing algorithms!  \nStep 2: Create Your Drawings (5-10 mins)  \nBefore you can play, you need to make the drawings that you will use in the game. First, decide which level or levels you want to play: easy, medium, or hard (we recommend a few of each) . Next, use the Algorithmic Artist Planning Guide (page 9) to help you generate your drawings. Depending on how long you want to play, each player can make 3-4 drawings.  \n\n| Example Drawings |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Easy | Easy | Medium | Hard |\n| | | | |\n\nStep 3: Learn the Rules (2 mins)  \nDecide who will be the first instructor. If you are in the same room, make sure the artist(s) cannot see the drawings.
