Join Train the Future for CodeWeek 2024: Empowering Young Coders

At Train the Future, we believe that every child has the potential to be a creator, innovator, and leader in the digital world. That’s why we are excited to celebrate CodeWeek 2024, an annual event that brings coding to everyone, especially young learners.

What is CodeWeek?

CodeWeek is a Europe-wide initiative aimed at making coding and digital literacy accessible to all. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced programmer, CodeWeek offers fun and interactive activities that introduce people of all ages to the world of coding. The goal? To show how coding can be a powerful tool for creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration.

Why Coding matters for children?

Coding is more than just writing lines of code. It’s about developing essential problem-solving skills, fostering creativity, and learning how to think logically. At Train the Future, we believe that coding helps children build confidence in their ability to tackle challenges, collaborate with others, and think critically about the world around them.

Robotics Camp: mBot Neo (October 21st-25th, 2024)

For those interested in diving deeper after CodeWeek, we offer an exciting add-on: the Robotics Camp. This week-long camp provides a deeper exploration into robotics with mBot Neo. Over five days, children will build their robots, program with mBlock software, and explore complex applications such as artificial intelligence. Each lesson is designed to foster creative thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork.

Who is it for?

The camp is suitable for children aged 8-14 who are curious about technology, robotics, and programming.

Participants will learn:

– Robotics construction and programming  

– Application of sensors and actuators  

– Creative problem-solving  

– Fundamentals of artificial intelligence  

No prior knowledge required! Just curiosity and enthusiasm for technology and robotics.

In this five-day course, children will assemble robots, program with mBlock, and explore advanced concepts like AI. Each day fosters creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork through hands-on projects.
