Coding in space for the climate change

Learn basic programming skills using some basic concepts of coding in Python, based on the CodeCraft 3D game by BuzzCoder.com. CodeCraft is a new game to learn programming by building whatever you imagine in a virtual 3D world. You can start from building simple blocks, columns, and walls, then large buildings, bridges, and even trees. When you are ready to delve into more advanced levels, you will be able to build more complex structures: growing flowers, flickering stars, and even invisible drones to move around and build or destroy things at your command. You'll have fun learning how to code while playing this game!

Ήρθε ο Οκτώβριος και ανανεώνουμε το ραντεβού μας με την Ευρωπαϊκή Εβδομάδα Κώδικα – EU Code Week. Οι μαθητές και οι μαθήτριες όλων των τμημάτων του σχολείου θα ασχοληθούν με διασκεδαστικές αλγοριθμικές, προγραμματιστικές και ρομποτικές δραστηριότητες, προκλήσεις και παιχνίδια. Βασικός στόχος είναι τα παιδιά να καλλιεργήσουν γνώσεις και δεξιότητες υπολογιστικής σκέψης, προγραμματισμού και κωδικοποίησης, να διερευνήσουν και να επιλύσουν προκλήσεις και γρίφους με τη χρήση του ηλεκτρονικού υπολογιστή να επικοινωνήσουν και να συνεργαστούν με τους συμμαθητές τους και να διασκεδάσουν! 

As part of World Space Week 2024 with the theme: "Space and Climate Change", which emphasizes the critical role of space exploration and technology in understanding and addressing the challenges posed by climate change, the following activities will be implemented:

1) On a tabletop robotic track we will place images of different parts of the Earth (images of forests, oceans, ice, atmosphere, etc.). The children are asked to program the satellite robot (Beebot) to pass by these points to measure and collect data which will be sent to Esa (end).

2) Children are asked to draw on a worksheet the boxes (pixels) according to the numerical/colour code given (each number corresponds to a colour) and reveal the secret picture (Pixel Art).
