4 4 THE PROJECT IN A NUTSHELL JUNIOR CODE ACADEMY AMBITION IS TO ENHANCE CODING SKILLS IN EUROPEAN SCHOOLS THROUGH THE CO-DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF A NEW CODING CURRICULUM GUIDE. THIS INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVE, CO-FUNDED BY THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION UNDER THE ERASMUS+ PROGRAMME IS PROMOTED BY SEVEN PARTNERS FROM FOUR DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, INCLUDING GREECE, ITALY, POLAND AND PORTUGAL. THE PROJECT AIMS AT SUPPORTTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INNOVATIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES IN LINE WITH THE DEMANDS AND EVOLVING PACE OF THE 21ST CENTURY, UNLEASHING THE STUDENTS POTENTIAL AND PREPARING THEM FOR A DIGITAL SOCIETY AND UPCOMING DIGITAL JOBS. JUNIOR CODE ACADEMY IS BUILT ON A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH THAT, INVOLVING THE MAIN STAKEHOLDERS, COMPRISES SEVERAL STEPS, INCLUDING: DESK RESEARCH AND LITERATURE REVIEW GATHERING RELEVANT RESOURCES INTO A DATABASE CO-DESIGNING THE CURRICULUM GUIDE TESTING THE IMPLEMENTATION IN ONE SCHOOL (PILOT) IMPLEMENTING IN THREE SCHOOLS (REPLICATION PROGRAMME) THESE STEPS ENSURE THE HIGH-QUALITY OF THE CURRICULUM AND ITS ALIGNMENT WITH THE NEEDS, INTERESTS AND EXPECTATIONS OF THE TARGET-GROUPS: SCHOOL COMMUNITY (STUDENTS, EDUCATION PROVIDERS AND POLICY MAKERS.

6 6 DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING WITHIN THE JUNIOR CODE ACADEMY PROJECT AN INNOVATIVE CURRICULUM FOR STUDENTS AGED AND A SET OF RESOURCES WERE DEVELOPED BY THE PARTNERS AND VALIDATED BY STUDENTS AND TEACHERS FROM FOUR SCHOOLS (THE FIRST AS A PILOT AND THE THREE OTHERS AS REPLICATION PROGRAMME): AGRUPAMENTO DE ESCOLAS DE AVEIRO (PORTUGAL) ISTITUTO D'ISTRUZIONE SUPERIORE SECONDARIA (ITALY) SCUOLA SECONDARIA 1 GRADO DANTE ALIGHIERI (ITALY) REGIONAL DIRECTORATE OF EDUCATION OF CRETE - 5 TH JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL OF HERAKLION (GREECE) THESE SCHOOLS IMPLEMENTED A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF LESSONS AND INVOLVED STUDENTS FROM THE 5 TH TO THE 9 TH GRADE IN PORTUGAL AND EQUIVALENT IN OTHER COUNTRIES, AS WELL AS ICT TEACHERS. A TOTAL OF 10 LESSONS WERE TESTED IN EACH ONE OF THE SCHOOLS. THESE LESSONS ARE ORGANISED IN THREE MAIN COMPONENTS: LEARNING THE BASICS PROGRAMMING KEY CONCEPTS AND COMPUTER SYSTEMS (algorithms, repetitions and loops, conditions, functions, variables, ETC.) GUIDED EXPLORATION COMPUTACIONAL THINKING AND LEARNING TOOLS (Scratch and App Inventor) DO IT YOURSELF CHALLENGE AND DEVELOPMENT OF CODING PROJECTS.

7 7 LEARNING TOOLS JUNIOR CODE ACADEMY CURRICULUM GUIDE EXPLORES TWO SPECIFIC LEARNING TOOLS: SCRATCH IS A VISUAL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE THAT LETS YOU CREATE GAMES AND ANIMATIONS, FOR INSTANCE, USING A GRAPHIC INTERFACE. SCRATCH IS A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE AND ONLINE COMMUNITY WHERE THE USER CAN CREATE ITS OWN INTERACTIVE STORIES, GAMES, AND ANIMATIONS - AND SHARE ITS CREATIONS WITH OTHERS AROUND THE WORLD. IN THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING AND PROGRAMMING SCRATCH PROJECTS, YOUNG PEOPLE LEARN TO THINK CREATIVELY, REASON SYSTEMATICALLY, AND WORK COLLABORATIVELY. APP INVENTOR IS A PROGRAMMING TOOL TO CREATE APPLICATIONS FOR MOBILE DEVICES, TABLETS AND SMARTPHONES, WITH ANDROID OPERATING SYSTEM. APP INVENTOR IS AN INNOVATIVE BEGINNER'S INTRODUCTION TO PROGRAMMING AND APP CREATION THAT TRANSFORMS THE COMPLEX LANGUAGE OF TEXT-BASED CODING INTO VISUAL, DRAG-AND-DROP BUILDING BLOCKS. THE SIMPLE GRAPHICAL INTERFACE GRANTS EVEN AN INEXPERIENCED NOVICE THE ABILITY TO CREATE A BASIC, FULLY FUNCTIONAL APP WITHIN AN HOUR OR LESS.
