Project Description
TEENS: ADVANCED PROGRAMMING FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL
SCHOOL STAGE: Secondary School (Spanish Education System)
RECOMMENDED AGE: 12, 13, 14 and 15 years
AVAILABLE LANGUAGES:
DURATION: 4 school years
TECHNOLOGIES:
Apps and video games programming, Arduino.
TECHNOLOGICAL YOUTH PASSPORT ACCREDITATIONS:
Some modules have an official accreditation of knowledge included in the TYP.
On completing the SCHOOL TECHNOLOGICAL CURRICULUM STEAM SCHOOL IN-A-BOX students will be able to obtain the corresponding qualifications:
VIDEO GAMES PROGRAMMER
APPS PROGRAMMER
MAKER DIY ENGINEER
GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
The TEENS program offers the possibility to programme a simple video game. That possibility is offered especially for students who start from Scratch or do not have much experience. However, this is not the main objective of the course so if the teacher considers it appropriate it would be posible to go directly to more complex modules.
PROGRAMMING APPS
The TEENS CODING IN-A-BOX students will program APPs in order to be accredited within the TYP. As a novelty, they will learn to program a complete video game for a mobile platform, incorporating behaviors to objects, a scoring system and sound effects. WATCH VIDEO
ARDUINO PROJECTS
They will also program various Arduino projects, in which they will face, with progressive difficulty, advanced electronics concepts.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES
Through the TEENS CODING IN-A-BOX program students will enter the Networks and Security world (Anti-hacking, Networks, TCP / IP, Home Automation / IOT, OSI Model, etc.).
NETWORKS AND SECURITY
HOME AUTOMATION AND IOT
SYLLABUS AND PLANNING
The teacher is given the opportunity to teach all the conceptual and theoretical part with a flipped classroom methodology. He or she will have videos and presentations made by experts of each of the areas (Security, Networking, Electronics, etc.), an also engineers or certified instructors who have extensive teaching experience with children and teenagers. With these materials, the student will work with the modules of a more conceptual and theoretical characteristics such as the OSI Model, theory about electronics or similar at home and the class at the school can be used to share the acquired knowledge or to do practical exercises to put that knowledge into practise.
