I want to learn about: Coding

Robby’s laboratory is an activity within Smartick Coding that is used to teach concepts about the use of variables, input, output, and different types of data in programming.  In the laboratory, we can find data that are numbers, shapes, or letters, but we can also find new data there, such as Boolean operators.  What are […]

New Activity in Smartick Coding: The Laboratory Robby is very excited because he has just launched the laboratory! It is a new activity during Coding sessions, the Smartick tool for children to learn programming through playing. Robby’s laboratory is a new environment to teach concepts like the use of variables, input and output, and types […]

In a previous post, we spoke about basic coding concepts: instructions and control structures. Today we will expand on the topic a bit more and explain the different programming exercises children learn with Smartick Coding. All teachers agree on the importance of reading code as much as possible in order to write it correctly. This […]

In this post, we will talk about the first setting that is presented to students to learn how to code. We decided to teach these first steps through robotics, which is the branch of programming that is closest to the physical world and more attainable at an early age. The first thing that we work […]

What is Smartick Coding? Every certain number of sessions, students that do Smartick math are presented with a Smartick Coding session. That way, they work on computational thinking that, we will discuss in this and future posts, is very closely related to mathematical, logical, and abstract thinking. Smartick Coding is an ambitious project that works from […]

Smartick supports the Hour of Code! A global initiative that takes place during Computer Science Education Week, December 3rd – 9th. What is the Hour of Code? The Hour of Code aims to promote programming around the world, demonstrating that anyone can learn the basics and increase the number of children and adults in the […]
