The benefits of gamification in teaching programming
Gamification in the educational world is the use of games to turn learning new things into a playful and fun activity for kids and teens. The games and challenges proposed in Codelearn’s online platform, which are based in the adventures of our original characters, have been designed in order to live programming and robotics learning up.
Codelearn recommendations: PREY, by Michael Crichton
Once he starts working for a new company, Jack discovers how it has created an innovative technology based on nanobots: autonomous and microscopic robots which can replicate themselves and which are controlled by an artificial intelligence. Those nanobots have enough potential to revolutionize our world… Or to take it down.
What is STEAM education?
Everyday there are more and more countries committed to introducing children to science and technology through a new practical and playful learning model that fosters the development of the so-called STEAM skills. While we already talked about STEM fields in the 90s, this idea has evolved over the last years and has added the creative, open and innovative component of Arts, so little by little we have started to talk about STEAM.
What is Arduino?
Do you remember our article about the difference between hardware and software? Today we should look back at those terms for a moment so we can start talking about Arduino, an open-source hardware platform based on a board that allows to create interactive electronic...
Get your programming certificate with Codelearn
The main goal of boosting Codelearn certificates is to specify which kind of competences have been acquired by students who pass a level exam, that is to say, which programming languages they are capable to use and which kind of technologies they are able to work with. Thus, ideally these certificates of competencies will be useful to compare Codelearn studies to other formal education studies.
