Tue, Oct 1, 2024 9:00 AM

Description: Students will embark on a hands-on environmental project, applying coding and scientific principles to address real-world challenges. By using devices like Kitroniks and Micro:Bits, students will design and create solutions to environmental problems like drought, acid rain, and pollution. They'll engage in research, experimentation, and teamwork to develop innovative models that promote sustainability. Through this project, students will develop essential skills in coding, problem-solving, and environmental awareness.

Key Activities:

  • Research and Analysis: Students will investigate environmental issues and gather data.
  • Coding and Design: Using Kitroniks and Micro:Bits, students will create programs to monitor environmental conditions and implement solutions.
  • Model Creation: Students will design and build physical models using recyclable materials.
  • Presentation: Students will present their projects and explain their solutions to a wider audience.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Develop coding skills and problem-solving abilities.
  • Understand the scientific method and its application to real-world problems.
  • Gain knowledge of environmental issues and sustainable practices.
  • Enhance teamwork and collaboration skills.
  • Develop critical thinking and creativity.

STEAM codes: from letters to flags
Mon, Feb 10, 2025 8:00 AM

  • In our CodeWeek event “STEAM codes: from letters to flags”, children will learn the basics of coding through creative and interactive activities. They will code the letters of the “STEAM with games” project name and various national flags using colors, symbols, or other coding methods. This activity will help develop logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a better understanding of how information can be encoded. It will also encourage them to explore European countries and their cultures. Working in teams, children will share ideas and discover that coding can be fun and easily understandable—even without a computer!
