About the Project
Coding is like a language. It is a way to instruct a computer or a tablet what you want it to do. It may be seen as the modern literacy and it is important that the teachers within our educational systems are well versed in this field so that they will also be able to pass on this knowledge to our pupils who will constitute the generations of the future. In fact, young children can learn the foundations of coding before they can even write and spell. Learning to code will prepare our pupils for future jobs, jobs which don’t even yet exist. Hence the importance of it all.

This project focused on the teaching of Numeracy and Literacy skills through Coding and Robotics.

The objectives of this project were to:
1) Provide training to at least 40 teachers about Numeracy and Literacy skills through Coding and Robotics
2) Enable at least 40 teachers to expand their expertise on the teaching of numeracy and literacy through Coding and Robotics through exchange of good practices
3) Establish a good relationship between the 4 participating schools
The planned activities took over two years to be implemented which included a Kick-Off Management Meeting in Malta, school visits in Malta and Portugal and two virtual mobilities in Slovenia and Italy. A structured training course for staff was held in Italy (Milan). There were also dissemination activities by each participating school in their own country.

The concrete results of this project include:
Over 40 teachers who received training on the teaching of Numeracy and Literacy skills through Coding and Robotics;
Over 40 teachers became more knowledgeable about the best way to teach Numeracy and Literacy skills through Coding and Robotics via the exchange of good practices with other European teachers;
European schools undertook mutual capacity-building activities.

Participating teachers were given the necessary training, used online resources and other Coding equipment with their learners and shared their new found knowledge with their colleagues. Resources used are available for all the participating countries on the eTwinning Platform.

This eWorkbook is a further dissemination tool that can be viewed by all the school partners and also by schools in other countries. It is a good way to show our good practices and the success of our project.
