2020-2021: face-to-face weekly digital workshops
10-12 yo – Year 1 – English
By group of 12 children maximum, our animators guide the children step-by-step through the making of different projects. All the equipment is provided, no need to bring your computer, just your good mood and enthousiasm! All the softwares we use are free and compatible Windows, iOS, Linux, so that they can continue the experience at home.
ENGLISH This class is in English in order to immerse children in an innovative activity in English! We do not except children to speak fluently English, but to understand and to be motivated to take this activity in English! More complicated instructions will be repeated in French. Children are free to ask questions in English or French, but the animator will always answer in English.
Our fun and educational curriculum is composed of 28 creative digital workshops of 1h30 during the school year and has 5 cycles:
- CODING Children get into computer science and learn about coding logics (loop, condition, variable, events, messages, clones etc.) with the free software Scratch (visual approach by blocks). Our animators guide them to make an advanced maze game on the theme of Star Wars and the famous bricks breaker game (evolved version of Pong).
- ROBOTICS They discover robotics with the Edison robots, equipped with motors, LEDs, distance and light sensors. They experiment and try to take up our challenges: go forward and backward, turn, detect obstacles, get out of a maze or follow a circuit. They customize their robots with Lego and fight in a sumo battle.
- ELECTRONICS They learn about electronics with Thingz, a simplified Arduino card: they make different circuits and code LEDs, temperature / humidity and light sensors, detector of movements, segments displays and screen: make LEDs blink, build a timer, a clock, a weather station and an anti-intrusion alarm!
- DESIGN Children unleash their creativity by drawing in pixel art and by making animations with Piskel. Pixel art is a great way to make backdrops and characters for video games! The young one discover the advanced features of 3DSlash and 3D design and print cork animals. They will have plenty of time to make their own creations.
- PROJECT At the end of the year, children have some time to make their own projects, on the theme of their choice, in order to put into practice what they learned during the year. The animator will be their coach. Children can work on their own or in small groups, those who willing to can present their project at the end of the year.
