Unplugged Tots: Introduce children to the foundations of computer coding by Hannah Hagon
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 27.6 MB
Overview: Introduce your child to the foundations of computer coding and teach them the skills to take on their future, now. Prepare children to be the problem-solvers, inventors, engineers, scientists, and technologists of tomorrow by equipping them with the foundational skills they’ll need, today. Through accessible, fun, and engaging activities that are also completely screen-free, Unplugged Tots helps teachers and parents introduce computational thinking skills to children as young as 2½, giving them a head start in the world of technology. Code is the fundamental building block of all computer programs — those sets of instructions that power everything from the World Wide Web to your car. Its importance has been recognised by governments all over the world, and programming has been added to countries’ school curricula accordingly. This book will help you teach the core concepts behind coding to preschool-aged children (and have fun while doing it!). Just like learning an additional language, the process of learning digital skills has numerous benefits for children (as well as parents, teachers, and caregivers), including improved communication, greater confidence, and perhaps the most important skill of all: the ability to learn from failure. What is ScratchJr? ScratchJr is a visual coding app designed for young children. Instead of written commands, it uses colourful blocks of code that snap together like puzzle pieces, enabling children to make characters (called sprites) move and tell stories. While it’s a brilliant way to introduce coding, it requires children to have already developed reading skills, mouse control, and an understanding of directions and numbers. That’s when it hit me: what if we could teach coding concepts long before children even touch a keyboard? What if we could use play and everyday objects to teach computational thinking? I began breaking down coding into its simplest parts: algorithms, patterns, sequences, and deconstruction. What I discovered was that these key concepts didn’t apply to computers alone — they were essential for solving all kinds of problems. And that’s how Unplugged Tots was born: from a mum’s determination to give her children the building blocks they need to understand technology, one playful step at a time.
