RaspberryPiFoundation: Teach kids computing: Programming by Edx
Learn about key programming concepts and strategies for teaching programming to primary-age pupils (aged 5- to 11-years-old).
Course Highlights
- Look at how kids can create algorithms using direction cards, labelled diagrams, and flowcharts.
- Think about how you can help children progress through different levels of abstraction when creating a program.
- Consider a range of programming languages suitable for young people, including ScratchJr, Logo, and Crumble.
- Examine the key programming concepts of sequence, repetition, selection, and variables, and how you can introduce children to these, including by using real-world examples.
- Design programs using these concepts, and use the block-based programming language Scratch to implement your design.
- Review a lesson to put into practice what you've learnt in the course.
