Promoter – Robocode GENERATION
Action – O Futuro chegou: Aprende Programação e Robótica
Description – ROBOCODE GENERATION believes that education is the foundation of a society, enabling children to go further, creating relationships and collaborating in solving problems. The information society requires new skills and presents new challenges for future generations, in which computational thinking is the key to success. Our vision is children: future generations, educated to think computationally, preparing them for future great challenges that await them.
Using games, robots, treasure hunts, escaperooms, the goal is to teach programming in a playful way.
Activity aimed at 1st cycle students, carried out online or in person, in a non-teaching component. It aims to develop skills in the area of programming in various online platforms using block programming.
This activity is developed in different phases, considering the dynamics of the school year, using as a vehicle to access the entire school community, several partners.
1. First term – presentation of the various computer systems, internet and networks (cybersecurity);
2. Second term- data algorithms and information analysis;
3. Third term – Impacts of computing, presentation of the project developed by the children.
Goals:
- To disseminate the teaching of computer sciences involving a large number of children in a low-density region (Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro).
- To promote school success through computer sciences and technology with the implementation of logical sequences of problem solving based on the fundamentals associated with programming logic and the use of structural components of programming, which aim to develop students’ skills in different subject areas.
- Equity in programming and robotics learning with the availability of free video lessons supported by partnerships with the Municipalities.
