Coding in today's digital world  has become a basic requirement along with mathematics and literacy. Coding is best taught from an early age. The sooner children are introduced to concepts such as sequence, loops, and conditions, the better they absorb it. In our project, computer-free coding activities will be done first and then computer coding studies will be started.

To offer the opportunity to develop many skills that will be useful in all areas of life such as problem solving, communication, teamwork, planning, decision-making, evaluation, creativity and critical thinking, which are necessary for both today's and tomorrow's professions. It aims at coding studies by establishing a curriculum relationship and providing interdisciplinary transition.

The project also intends to find new possibilities for challenging experiences for highly gifted children to help them maximize their talents by paying attention to the ways they are educated in different countries in Europe. The aim of the project is to support and assess new approaches to reduce inequalities in the access and participation in digital technologies in education, to tackle any type of discrimination on the access to technology as well as facilitate the inclusion of girls in further studies and jobs related to ICT. Robotics and coding give also children with learning difficulties to prove their manual skills and thus help them experience success, pay special attention to those long-term biases and gender stereotypes that usually steer girls away from technology, to prevent and reduce inequalities in the access and participation in digital technologies in education.

Participants will be organized in teams according to their pupils´ age:

from 3 to 5 “LITTLE ........”

from 6 to 10 “......... JUNIOR”

from 11 to 13 “...... SENIOR”
