CODE WEEK IN OUR SCHOOL

Students create a message with LED lights using Micro:bit. This activity develops basic electronics and coding skills.Students design a simple game in Scratch. For example, a ball reaching the goal by avoiding obstacles. This activity teaches basic programming concepts like loops and conditional statements.Students navigate a maze using directional cards to reach a specific goal. This activity develops basic algorithm and problem-solving skills.

Volunteering to reduce functional and computational illiteracy

This interactive activity combines creative programming with physical movement and environmental responsibility. Students will learn to use the Micro:bit board to build a digital pedometer, using the built-in accelerometer sensor to count steps.

Later, they will connect the Micro:bit to Scratch, where they will create an interactive interface that displays the number of steps taken through animations, encouraging messages or characters that react to movement. The project can be extended by creating a digital story or challenge in which each step contributes to achieving an environmental goal (e.g. saving a polluted city, discovering a green route, etc.).

The activity emphasizes computational thinking, creativity, teamwork and real-life applicability: students reflect on how daily movement and the choice of walking can contribute to personal health and environmental protection.
