Abstract
Recently SW education has been emphasized in Korea, but many students do not have many opportunities to learn computer science. In this paper, I organized a computer science show to enhance interest and understanding of computer science. The computer science show consisted of understanding binary systems, send a text message, parity bit magic, finding a number card, and collecting colors (orange games). I applied the computer science show to elementary school students and looked at the results. Most of the students who participated in computer science shows did not have an "participation experience of computer science shows". As result of surveys, many students answered "I am interesting about computer science shows," "I am interested in computer science," and "I would recommend it to my friends nearby." Through research, I learned that computer science shows are a way for elementary students to draw interest in computer science and to create curiosity and interest in computer science. I found from research that computer science shows are a way to reduce students' learning burdens and to increase interest in computer science.
