Open in-person activity

Greek

Grigoriou E' 1, 251 00, Aigio, GRC

Students from C1 and C3 ICT class that participate in the eTwinning project "Eratosthenes 2022" accepts the challenge from the French partners to use the coder tool they have created and to code short messages in hieroglyphs and post them in a dedicated forum. These short messages summarize knowledge and facts based on the experience the students had during their participation in the project.

In a second step, the students that participate in the forum will try to decode their partners' messages.

The activity helps student understand the process of encoding and decoding, and  the tools built by project partners capture the character-code mapping process and the conventions used.

On the occassion of the celebration of the International Dot Day we read the book "the Dot" by Peter H Reynolds, craft with recycable matterials and create a dot mural. Then we  play with motives of colourded dots on work sheets. This way we play our first unplugged coding game and get initiated into the educational world of coding.

Christmas Coding Activities
Sun, Dec 1, 2024 8:30 AM

In this activity children are going to get introduced to computational thinking through different coding activities (Beebot games, unplugged activities, pixel art activity). They will create code and crack codes in a fun  and appropriate for their age way.

1st Activity (Beebot activity & Unplugged )

First create the  Beebot map and  program beebot to help Santa Clauss to get dressed. Write down the code. If you don’t have  Beebot or other robot, create a floor map and program a child to dress Santa Clauss.

2nd Activity (Beebot activity & Unplugged)

First create a Beebot map. Then program elf – Beebot to put all presents on Santa’s sleigh. Each child can choose a present and lead elf- Beebot to it and then to the sleigh. If you don’t have a Beebot  you can create a floor map and children can take the place of Beebot.

3rd Activity (Pixel Art & Color by number)

Decode the color code and reveal the wish or the Christmas image. You can also create  a Christmas image using pixel art, write down the code and share with the partners and let then to find out is hiding behind the code. Send coding wishes to friends. Also you can use zapply code  to create  Christmas pictures.
