THE PROJECT IN A NUTSHELL

JUNIOR CODE ACADEMY AMBITION IS TO

ENHANCE CODING SKILLS IN EUROPEAN

SCHOOLS THROUGH THE CO-DEVELOPMENT

AND TESTING OF A NEW CODING CURRICULUM

GUIDE.

THIS INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVE, CO-FUNDED BY

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION UNDER THE

ERASMUS+ PROGRAMME IS PROMOTED BY

SEVEN PARTNERS FROM FOUR DIFFERENT

COUNTRIES, INCLUDING GREECE, ITALY, POLAND

AND PORTUGAL.

THE PROJECT AIMS AT SUPPORTTING THE

IMPLEMENTATION OF INNOVATIVE LEARNING

STRATEGIES IN LINE WITH THE DEMANDS AND

EVOLVING PACE OF THE 21ST CENTURY,

UNLEASHING THE STUDENTS’ POTENTIAL AND

PREPARING THEM FOR A DIGITAL SOCIETY AND

UPCOMING DIGITAL JOBS.

JUNIOR CODE ACADEMY IS BUILT ON A

COLLABORATIVE APPROACH THAT, INVOLVING

THE MAIN STAKEHOLDERS, COMPRISES SEVERAL

STEPS, INCLUDING:

DESK RESEARCH AND LITERATURE REVIEW

GATHERING RELEVANT RESOURCES INTO A

DATABASE

CO-DESIGNING THE CURRICULUM GUIDE

TESTING THE IMPLEMENTATION IN ONE

SCHOOL (PILOT)

IMPLEMENTING IN THREE SCHOOLS

(REPLICATION PROGRAMME)

THESE STEPS ENSURE THE HIGH-QUALITY OF THE

CURRICULUM AND ITS ALIGNMENT WITH THE

NEEDS, INTERESTS AND EXPECTATIONS OF THE

TARGET-GROUPS: SCHOOL COMMUNITY

(STUDENTS AND TEACHERS), EDUCATION

PROVIDERS AND POLICY MAKERS.

DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING

WITHIN THE JUNIOR CODE ACADEMY PROJECT

AN INNOVATIVE CURRICULUM FOR STUDENTS

AGED 10-15 AND A SET OF RESOURCES WERE

DEVELOPED BY THE PARTNERS AND VALIDATED

BY STUDENTS AND TEACHERS FROM FOUR

SCHOOLS (THE FIRST AS A PILOT AND THE THREE

OTHERS AS REPLICATION PROGRAMME):

AGRUPAMENTO DE ESCOLAS DE AVEIRO

(PORTUGAL)

ISTITUTO D'ISTRUZIONE SUPERIORE

SECONDARIA (ITALY)

SCUOLA SECONDARIA 1° GRADO DANTE

ALIGHIERI (ITALY)

REGIONAL DIRECTORATE OF EDUCATION

OF CRETE - 5TH JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL OF

HERAKLION (GREECE)

THESE SCHOOLS IMPLEMENTED A

COMPREHENSIVE SET OF LESSONS AND

INVOLVED STUDENTS FROM THE 5TH TO THE 9TH

GRADE IN PORTUGAL AND EQUIVALENT IN

OTHER COUNTRIES, AS WELL AS ICT TEACHERS.

A TOTAL OF 10 LESSONS WERE TESTED IN EACH

ONE OF THE SCHOOLS. THESE LESSONS ARE

ORGANISED IN THREE MAIN COMPONENTS:

LEARNING THE BASICS – PROGRAMMING

KEY CONCEPTS AND COMPUTER SYSTEMS

(algorithms, repetitions and loops,

conditions, functions, variables, ETC.)

GUIDED EXPLORATION – COMPUTACIONAL

THINKING AND LEARNING TOOLS (Scratch

and App Inventor)

DO IT YOURSELF – CHALLENGE AND

DEVELOPMENT OF CODING PROJECTS.

LEARNING TOOLS

JUNIOR CODE ACADEMY CURRICULUM GUIDE

EXPLORES TWO SPECIFIC LEARNING TOOLS:

SCRATCH IS A VISUAL PROGRAMMING

LANGUAGE THAT LETS YOU CREATE GAMES

AND ANIMATIONS, FOR INSTANCE, USING A

GRAPHIC INTERFACE.

HTTPS://SCRATCH.MIT.EDU/

SCRATCH IS A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE AND

ONLINE COMMUNITY WHERE THE USER CAN

CREATE ITS OWN INTERACTIVE STORIES, GAMES,

AND ANIMATIONS - AND SHARE ITS CREATIONS

WITH OTHERS AROUND THE WORLD. IN THE

PROCESS OF DESIGNING AND PROGRAMMING

SCRATCH PROJECTS, YOUNG PEOPLE LEARN TO

THINK CREATIVELY, REASON SYSTEMATICALLY,

AND WORK COLLABORATIVELY.

APP INVENTOR IS A PROGRAMMING TOOL TO

CREATE APPLICATIONS FOR MOBILE DEVICES,

TABLETS AND SMARTPHONES, WITH

ANDROID OPERATING SYSTEM.

HTTP://APPINVENTOR.MIT.EDU/

APP INVENTOR IS AN INNOVATIVE BEGINNER'S

INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING AND APP

CREATION THAT TRANSFORMS THE COMPLEX

LANGUAGE OF TEXT-BASED CODING INTO

VISUAL, DRAG-AND-DROP BUILDING BLOCKS.

THE SIMPLE GRAPHICAL INTERFACE GRANTS

EVEN AN INEXPERIENCED NOVICE THE ABILITY TO

CREATE A BASIC, FULLY FUNCTIONAL APP WITHIN

AN HOUR OR LESS.
