An interactive workshop introducing you to the Scratch programming environment and taking you through the concepts of sequence, repetition and selection through a series of camel related challenges.
You will need to:
be registered with Barefoot and logged into https://www.barefootcomputing.org/
have access to scratch on their device https://scratch.mit.edu/
have access to watch videos on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/
This webinar will focus on teaching how computers work and the numeracy and mathematical principles that underpin this. This will be a 60 minute workshop with interactive opportunities for teachers to join in and try out some of the activities suggested for learners.
The session will identify Numeracy & Mathematics Es and Os that can be used to plan and deliver the learning over a series of lessons. Attendees should be more confident about the mathematical concepts that underpin computers and computing, and be aware of ‘off-the-shelf’ resources that can be used with learners.
You can have a look at some of these ideas in this series of blog posts:

In the run up to COP26, Code Club is supporting young learners to code the change they want to see in the world around them. In this session, Code Club will share the
* Environment project collection, full of ideas for great environment related projects to share with learners of all levels
* Protect Our Planet learning pathway of 6 projects for more confident coders
* live codealong events running during COP26 that learners can take part in
* and answer any questions you have
Learn how to explore the app development process, enabling your students (2nd level upwards) to go from idea to technical prototype, solving real world problems that they care about.
