The Princess & The Toad has been created in order to engage young students (and especially girls) in coding, by focusing on its creative (rather than its technical) dimension. The Scratch programming language has been chosen as it enables students to concentrate on this creative aspect, without having to worry about the strict syntactic rules associated with most text-based programming languages.

Coding is compared to writing a play. The play analogy not only provides students with an ideal setting in which to engage their creativity, it also builds on the way that the Scratch canvas is actually organised. During this creative process, students are introduced at the same time to some of the key principles and techniques associated with coding. (Students may work individually, in pairs, or in collaboration with parents or mentors).

Middagactiviteit 'iCREAte'

Tijdens de CodeWeek wordt de nieuwe middagactiviteit iCREAte gelanceerd. Tijdens deze wekelijkse sessies kunnen alle leerlingen en collega's vrijwillig deelnemen aan activiteiten en uitdagingen waarbij ICT, programmeren en creativiteit hand in hand gaan.

Programmeerlessen

In het vak ICT wordt er zowel unplugged als plugged geprogrammeerd. Onder andere Sphero BOLT robotjes worden via de iPads van de leerlingen aangestuurd en geprogrammeerd. Dit vormt de basis voor verschillende lesblokken programmeren doorheen het schooljaar.
