How to redesign Kids Coding
Design Thinking applies the tools and
processes from the design disciplines (architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, graphic
design, product design, apparel design and others)
to solve problems.
An experienced design thinker maintains a mindset which instinctively reframes
problems into opportunities by understanding users’ need.

Design Thinking for Kids Coding
Kids: a special type of “species”
Do we understand them well?
We need to consider all these while designing Kids Coding!
Redesign Curriculum
O Less hard-core science
O More fun and creative workshop
Redesign Classroom
O Less boring desk-chair setup
O More lively toys/props in the environment
Redesign Tools
O Less traditional computing devices (yes!!!)
O More toys with embedded technologies.
Redesign Mindset
O Less as the role of adult/teacher.
O More involved with children’s activities
Case Study: AutoGami
O Kids enjoy paper-craft
Case Study: AutoGami
O “My kid learnt about physics and eletronics
while playing with AutoGami”
