7. EU code week participation

  • EU code week 2018 

    About CODE WEEK

    In 2018 EU Code Week took  place between 6 and 21st of  October.

    It is a grass-roots movement that :

    • celebrates creativity
    • problem solving
    • collaboration through programming
    • and other tech activities.

    The idea is to : 

    • Make programming more visible,
    • Show young, adults and elderly how you bring ideas to life with code,
    • Demystify these skills
    • Bring motivated people together to learn

    Also 

    Coding  helps develop competences such as computational thinking, problem solving, creativity and team work

    Really good skills for all walks of life.

    How we joined the event ? 

    We joined  EU Code Week by organising a coding activity in each partner's   town by  joining the Code Week 4 All Challenge and connecting activities across communities and borders.

    • At first most of our partners joined individually by particpating in other activities , so that to be familiar with the events 
    • We launch a collaborative activity called binary bracelets ,  organized by our greek partner olga keramida , in that event more than 5 countries participated in that collaborative event.

    Name of the event 

    Binary bracelet with QR code integration 

     

    The link below represents the plan of the lesson we will follow during this event , however we made some changes by  integrating the notion of QR code

    Plan of  the event ( lesson )  

    Overview

    Binary is extremely important in the world of computers. The majority of computers today store all sorts of information in binary form. This lesson helps demonstrate how it is possible to take something from real life and translate it into a series of ons and offs.

    Aims   

    In this lesson our students will :

    • Learn how information is represented so that a computer can interpret and store it.

    • Have the ability to write codes and share them with their peers as secret messages.
    • This can then be related to the way computers read a program, translate it into binary, use the information in one way or another, and then respond in a way that is understandable to humans.

    Procedure 

    Activity 1: How to use the decoder key ?

    Work sheet

    Directions

    • Find the first letter of your first name on the activity sheet.
    • Fill in the squares of a bracelet to match the pattern of the squares next to the letter that you selected.
    • Cut the bracelet out.
    • Tape the bracelet around your wrist to wear it!
    • Share your bracelet with your classmates to see if they can figure out your letter.

     

    Activity 2: Assessment 

    To learn decoding  messages using the binary decoder key

    https://code.org/curriculum/course2/14/Assessment14-BinaryBracelets.pdf

     

    Directions

    • Hand out the assessment worksheet and allow students to complete the activity independently after the instructions have been well explained.
    • This should feel familiar 

    The lesson

    This is the original lesson proposed by the site itself

    Activity 3: Implication of QR code 

    To learn our students how to use the QR code to decode  messages 

    Examples  

    • QR code into picture  
    • QR code into  binary languague 

    For that reason our students will use QR code reader , application already downloaded  on their  smartphones 

    use the link below :

    Activity 2:  assessment  

     

     

    Activities  3:

    using the QR code , decryting messages  

     

    First message  :  QR code first message

    Second   message  : QR code second  message 

    Solution : http://opn.to/a/ZOHTI

    Other QR code messages 

    Solution :   

    be smart be safe ( screenshot showing the result of the analysis of the QR code ) 

     

    Solution :  netiquette 

    Activity  4:

    using the QR code , decryting messages, transforming the message into binary language  

     

     

    Solutions

    The 1st letter of kids names  ( greek , pylos ) 

    Konstantinos, Nikos, Ioanna, Aris, Basiliki, ....etc
