Objectives

1-To ensure that children who have difficulties in accessing computer technologies due to socio-economic reasons to have basic skills with preliminary preparation until they reach these tools 2-To develop skills that will help children understand coding 3-To prepare a rich resource created by bringing together good examples for teachers and schools to use in teaching coding The results we aim to achieve in line with the goals we have set are as follows: 1-Designed coding bag composed of good examples of each country. 2- Teachers working under different socio-cultural and economic conditions got activity source of good examples of practices. 3-Made a handbook compiled of good practices done by partners. 4- Raised awareness of environmental sensitivity in students, teachers and parents with coding toys to be created using recycling materials in applications to be made without a computer. 5- Raised children's awareness of coding. 6- Developed digital and analytical thinking skills of the students from early childhood

Background

Within the scope of this project, good examples of computer-free coding activities that can be applied in schools that do not have enough computers for students to use actively and individually were prepared and applied. The information learned in the light of the courses taken in the project and the in-class activities were very inspiring so that the group teachers' board planned to make at least one lesson each week to include coding training and started to work immediately in our school. All before this project, a questionnaire was applied to determine the opinions and needs of our teachers. As a result of this survey which made before the project, it has been stated with 42% ratio that coding activities support children's interest in lessons and ognitive analytical thinking skills. It has been revealed that 74% of Sevgi Kindergarten teachers are aware of the importance of coding education, but 57% are insufficient in having the necessary knowledge and skills for coding examples, and 60% need examples of good examples. After the implementation of all the activities and mobilities, it was well stated by all our teachers that they have gained both valuable EU experience and sense of coding readiness.
