Short description of the event:

This was an awareness raising event. 18 year old students helped 9 and 10 years old students to make first steps in Mico:bit coding. Learning objectives: 1. familiarity with coding micro:bit; 2. familiarity with basic concepts like sequences, modularization and repetition; 3. familiarity with planning and debugging practices; 4. peer-to-peer, collaborative and team working; 5. have fun with coding micro:bit.
Materials: tutorials and MakeCode Editor from https://makecode.microbit.org.
Stages: planning the event, find 18 years old volunteers to participate, organising the event, reporting
Challenge: The 9 years old students’ curiosity was much higher than I expected. They put a lot of questions so I planned to continue this kind of awareness events.
The event went well. Feedback from participants: Bogdan, 19 years old student: “It was awesome and inspiring to help younger pupils to make first steps in coding! I definitely want to become a teacher!” Mihai, 9 years old pupil: “When can we repeat this lesson, please? I liked it a lot!”
