SEK Qatar participated in a worldwide event called “Hour of Code”. Students take part in one hour of coding (programming) all over the world. Our Grade 1 students were the first set of students in the school to start this year. To make this child friendly, they play games designed for their age group. All over the world they use games using computer software, Ipad apps, robotics and other activities.
This week, Mr. Fran our ICT coordinator came to visit both classes . He introduced the idea to all of the children and reminded the children who took part last year, what it was all about. All of the students had the opportunity to use the Ipads to play a coding game called LightBot. Please ask your child about this as they were all super excited and I am sure that they will want to share their knowledge with you.
