Unplugged Coding for Kids | Little Code
What is it all about?
Little Code (Available in English & Afrikaans) is going to take you on a journey over the next 10 weeks to teach your little ones how to code. Unplugged coding focuses on teaching concrete lessons to your little ones to understand what coding is through play. All our lessons will be play-based while still focusing on the development of the skills you need to be a successful coder.
Unplugged Coding introduces coding and programming through engaging games that only use blocks, crayons, balls, and no technology at all. For younger students, teachers can skip the detailed concepts of computer coding and give them a better understanding of basic computer science knowledge and inspire them for future exploration.
(Includes FREE Certificate of Completion per Term)
How to use Little Code? Each week we are going to give you a lesson, each lesson will contain a lesson plan, vocabulary and activity instructions.
Do I/We Need any Computers/Tablets to present or teach this? No. All the lessons are hands on using practical & real-life items that can either be found around you, or are available in the course content. (You will only need to print certain pages from the curriculum)Â
