EU Code Week initiative includes a wide number of free resources to help kids get started with the learning of coding and computational thinking and to guide educators on how to plan innovative lesson about this. EU Code Week Learning Bits are short training resources that don’t require any previous coding or programming experience and knowledge.

Each module takes only around 15 minutes to complete and it also comes with practical instructions and advice on how to implement the activity in your classroom. The main aim of these free resources is to show how teachers can easily integrate coding and computational thinking in the classroom, even though they have no previous experience. These are some of the topics of the Learning Bits:

  • Coding without digital technology
