Advanced ICT required.^{Read more}

Advanced computer proficiency courses are designed for individuals who have a solid foundation in computer skills. Participants will further enhance their knowledge and abilities by exploring advanced concepts and tools, such as programming languages or 3d printing.

Targeted to Intermediate English (B1+) speakers.^{Read more}

This is the standard requirement for most courses. Participants at this level can participate actively in discussions and manage everyday and professional situations. If they are unsure about their English level, they can test it here or explore our courses facilitated in Basic English.

Cross-Curricular.^{Read more}

The listed audiences are those for whom the course is especially recommended, but courses are not exclusive to them and are open to everyone. In fact, most of our workshops are built around the collective sharing of participants’ experiences and having a variety of profiles enriches the learning process and is highly encouraged!

This course is designed for participants with some prior knowledge of the topic. Still, it is open to everyone, as the variety of backgrounds makes the learning process more engaging. If you are looking for an introductory course instead, we recommend exploring our catalogue further.

Description

Educators today are asked to integrate coding and computational thinking into their curriculums to prepare students for the technology-driven future.

This course aims to address this challenge by familiarizing educators with effective tools and platforms for teaching these essential skills.

By focusing on Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Micro:bit, and CyberPi, the course provides a comparative analysis to guide educators in selecting the best resources to meet their educational goals and student needs.

Throughout the course, participants will explore these programs’ functionalities, educational applications, and limitations.

The objective is to empower educators with the knowledge to choose appropriate tools for enhancing coding and computational thinking lessons, ensuring students engage in meaningful, hands-on learning experiences.

The main course activities include an introduction to each platform, providing participants with an overview of their origins, capabilities, and educational philosophies.

Through hands-on workshops, educators will compare the usability, accessibility, and suitability of each platform for different age groups and learning environments.

Participants will also develop lesson plans that incorporate these platforms, focusing on fostering engagement, creativity, and problem-solving skills among students.

Additionally, educators will engage in practical implementation by designing and executing mini projects in group activities, experiencing firsthand the learning opportunities each platform offers.

By the conclusion of the course, educators will possess the skills to navigate the options available for coding education.

They will be able to craft enriched learning environments that introduce students to coding and computational thinking while inspiring innovation and a deep understanding of technology’s role in solving real-world problems.

Furthermore, participants will leave with a network of peers and resources to support the continuous evolution of their coding curriculum.
