Coding@shools
by Stefania Altieri
The project Coding@schools, at its second edition,
has the aim to develop coding across the
curriculum, applying it to all the subjects.
Coding@shools is a project based on the
improvement of the computational thinking. Coding
helps to conceive and express rigorous procedures
that lead to the solution of a problem or the
realization of an idea. Soft skills and creativity are
fully involved in the process and they are
continuously called to act.
Following the coding Campaigns, new teaching
approaches and lab methodologies have been
tested. Code Week, Hour of code, Scratch day are
only few examples for our inspitations. Funny
activities, like code games and use of robots, have
been proposed in our TwinSpace:

Coding can be applied to any discipline, but it
requires reflection and awareness. In nowdays
complex and digital society it’s considered a key
skill.
Unplugged activities such as pixel art, Cody cards,
cryptography, coded secret messages, together
with online coding challenges have been taken
place in our classrooms. Students and parents have
been involved in playing and sharing their
experiences within project partners.
