Register your child for one of our free workshops
About this workshop
These sessions are intended for children aged 6 to 14.
This online workshop aims to introduce your kids to the basics of programming through our treasure hunt game. The workshop will cover the first lesson Getting Started Part I. Using live videoconferencing, your child is accompanied by one of our trainers to get hands on some programming concepts while having fun programming Cody, the pirate robot.
Take to the high seas, visit islands and code your robot to find buried treasures – but beware, you are not alone!
Pedagogy
Our approach uniquely integrates multiple learning areas. While the fundamentals of algorithmics are central to our program, we also develop other skills, particularly in learning English and spatial orientation—skills that are valuable in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
Computer programming
The first lessons introduce the syntactical rules, the game mechanics, and introduces some core concepts. The following lessons cover computer programming in depth, such as using procedures, variables, parameters, loops, expressions, etc.
Creativity
Coding Park inspires students to learn by creating. The platform lets students create and share their own challenges. Our language-agnostic game engine lets students have the choice of using visual blocks, text-based coding, or Python, while engaging them in the game adventure.
Spatial cognition abilities
Your child learns to represent a visual problem and to identify recurring shapes, recursive shapes, etc. He/she will learn to define a more or less complex path on a map, to understand an algorithm and to draw a path for which the algorithm is a solution.
