Connected: History of Computers and life in the internet

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.

Coding activity  for 18th of May Museums Day.

6th Grade

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.
