Codelearn special weeks: Drones
Throughout the school year, Codelearn spends different weeks working specific technologies. The first special week of this year has been about drones. Last week all Codelearn centres studied the operation of drones, the parts of a drone and the different types of drones that exist nowadays, as well as their different applications. Students were also taught about the current legislation for both recreational and professional drones so they know where they can fly them and in which cases it is forbidden, and they had the chance to make them fly around the classroom and have a great time.
Digital nomads: learning to code from anywhere
The Codelearn method can easily be adapted to digital nomads and their families lives, as the online platform allows every student to learn programming, robotics and computational thinking at his own pace, whenever he wants to do it and from anywhere in the world: the only thing he needs is a computer with Internet connexion.
Homeschooling: learning to code at your own pace with Codelearn
For its approach, its view on education and the nature of the method, Codelearn is an after-school program suitable for homeschooling families and can be adapted to all its modalities due to its degree of freedom and the flexibility it offers to each person. The online platform is a really good tool to learn different programming languages in an educational environment far from the traditional model offered at schools and it can help both children and parents, since in some cases parents can have difficulties to guide the learning of technical and specialized subjects.
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.
