Bind DataGrid to hard coded values for demonstration purposes

I need to create a DataGrid that's bound by hard coded values that I spcify in code-behind for demonstration purposes.  We are gonna change it to actually bind to a data source later.

I'm not srue how to do this.  I'm used to binding to a data source.

Lets say I ahve the data Grid beow.  I started to create the header text from code-behind.  How would I actually hard code records and then bind the grid?
