Unplugged Coding for Kids | Little Code
What is it all about?
Little Code – Unplugged Coding for Kids (Available in English & Afrikaans) is going to take you on a term-by-term journey to teach your little ones how to code. Unplugged coding focuses on teaching concrete lessons to your little ones to understand what coding is through play. All our lessons will be play-based while still focusing on the development of the skills you need to be a successful coder.
No Electronics are Required!
With our easy-to-follow lesson planning, there is no need for additional teaching resources and any of your teacher will be able to present the lesson content.
Unplugged Coding for kids introduces coding and programming through engaging games that only use blocks, crayons, balls, and no technology at all. For younger students, teachers can skip the detailed concepts of computer coding and give them a better understanding of basic computer science knowledge and inspire them for future exploration.
