Minecraft Coding Club What content does the event teach? - Coding, specifically the skills of sequencing, repetition, logic and variables - Computational Thinking (perseverance, debugging, logic, collaboration) Which methods and resources are used to convey this content to the participants? - Pupils will use the school’s existing chromebooks to access the Minecraft Education app. - Pupils will use a mixture of the built-in existing tutorials as well as expert modelling and support from their specialist computing teacher. What are the goals of the event? - Increase engagement in programming - Develop coding skills and therefore attainment - Increase enthusiasm and experiences of vulnerable children Which target group are you addressing with your event? - girls, PPG, SEN, ethnic minorities and pupils who have relocated with refugee status What makes your event special for the target group? - This event through the medium of Minecraft will help to engage groups of pupils who are not typically accessing existing provision offered through computing and coding. - Minecraft Education is a low risk resource with high engagement opportunities Is there any other relevant information for the target group, e.g. about registration? - 21 pupils across the three year groups are on the PPG register - 36 pupils across the three year groups are on the SEND register - 48 pupils across the three year groups have English as an additional language - The club will be free and repeated so that additional pupils can access this event

Kids United Holiday Coding Club

King's Arms Project will run two 4-day blocks of coding sessions in the half term for primary school children who have been resettled in the local area. Most of these children are new to the country and live in households with limited incomes and minimal access to IT devices. We will provide an opportunity for children to develop their digital skills while also working on communication and collaboration.
We have chosen to partner with Jam Coding, who will provide expert knowledge and teaching approaches as well as supply the equipment that we do not otherwise have access to. They will run their Minecraft Hackers workshop, which means that even the children with limited English language will be able to join in and develop their understanding of coding through command blocks and broader awareness of computational thinking.
This will be a very special event for the resettled children because for many of them they can engage with ideas and materials otherwise outside of the reach of their families. Their emerging English skills won't pose a barrier for them in this instance and they can enjoy exposure to a fun and exciting world not readily available to them.
