FAQ

The packages are suitable for children and young people aged 9 to 15. If you are in doubt, try out a demo lesson!  

We offer a unique combination of pedagogically well-founded lessons and extensive expertise (which we have already built up for years with our Coding Academy CodeFever and as Microsoft Global Training Partner). The fun videos, cool games and a continuous storyline all form a coherent whole.

The platform provides additional assets that are incorporated into our lessons in Scratch and Minecraft.

Scratch
The programming tool Scratch was fully integrated into our learning platform so that all exercises can be easily opened and saved from the informative slides in the platform. Together with the University of Ghent, we also developed a digital co-teacher in Scratch who provides children with tailored feedback.

Minecraft Education
For our Minecraft teaching package, we provide pre-programmed worlds and prepared code in MakeCode so that the children can complete attractive tasks that are not too difficult. What they have to do is recorded step by step in our learning platform.

With CodeCosmos, children and young people properly learn computational thinking and coding, which are essential skills for the future!

Both teaching packages require no prior knowledge of computational thinking or coding. We focus on the concepts of computational thinking and coding in which we use Minecraft Education or Scratch as a tool.

These concepts are covered in both teaching packages:

  • Sequence
  • Decomposition
  • Pattern recognition
  • Functions
  • Algorithms
  • Loops
  • Selections
  • Conditions
  • Debugging
  • Coordinates
