• Algorithmic thinking – planning and structuring solutions step by step (LK20)
• Block-based programming (similar to MakeCode for micro:bit)
• Creative and visual digital expression
• The connection between code and physical result
• Trial, error and the joy of mastery

Science:

• Explore, create and program technological systems that consist of parts that work together.

Arts and crafts:

• Use programming to create interactivity and visual expressions.

Mathematics:

• Create and program algorithms using variables, conditions and loops (step 5)
• Using variables, loops, conditions and functions in programming to explore geometric shapes and patterns (6th stage)

Introduction (approx. 10 min)

• The class meets the tutor in reception and we go together to the teaching room.
• The students are put into groups and given an introduction to what they will be doing.

Activity (approx. 40 min)

• We learn about pixels and draw an animation.
• We solve various programming challenges that create beautiful animations.

Closing (approx. 10 min)

• Presentation round of animations and program code.

The teacher's role

We want you as an adult to be active, participating and curious. Teachers are responsible for the group throughout the visit and may be asked to help along the way. Explainer is responsible for implementing the program. 

Before the visit

Our teaching methods do not require any preparation, but it is always useful to prepare students for a museum visit. Feel free to show pictures or video from the museum, talk about what will happen, and view our digital resources that can be used for pre- and post-work.

After the visit

Reflect and discuss with the students after the lesson, preferably in groups.
