The Coding4Kids project addresses the critical need to introduce coding and programming skills in primary and secondary education. With a focus on making coding accessible to all teachers, regardless of their technical background, the project aims to empower educators to impart essential programming knowledge to their pupils.
The key outputs include 12 learning modules on programming, consisting of 36 lesson plans for educators to apply in their learning. In addition, a training package for teachers will be developed to compile all the theoretical content to enhance teachers’ competence in coding and foster skills such as logical thinking and problem-solving in students.
Importantly, this project responds to the evolving demand for digital skills in the workforce, aligning with European priorities to bridge the gap in ICT education and contribute to students’ transversal skills. The expected impact creates a foundation for future generations to effectively understand and engage with the digital world.
