The workshop runs for 1.5 hours, providing ample time for children to engage deeply with the coding process. Activities include programming Lego models to move and respond, encouraging problem-solving and creative thinking.
Children will be paired in teams of two, which helps develop social skills such as taking turns and effective communication. The session is led by Jackie from Koala Bytes, an experienced instructor passionate about teaching coding to young learners.
