Piccola palestra di informatica creativa
Professor
Raffaele Ianniello and mentors from CoderDojo Bologna
Description
The creative information technology is about creativity. For a long time, information technology and programming fields have been felt far from youths interests, reserved to a strict number of passionate and restricted to the mastery of complex logical and mathematical concepts. Creative information technology supports the development of a personal connection with programming, emphasizing the creative side, students’ imagination and interests, stimulating collaboration. Creative information technology is about programming. The laboratory aims to foster the approach to the programming world of elementary school and junior high school children (but without specific limits). The guidelines to realize these creative information technology laboratories consist in stimulating children inviting them to create stories or simple videogames using a simple tool.
