The human needs of the present century are individuals who define the problem, solve the problem, have critical thinking, are creative, open to innovations, productive and are responsibile. The requirements of the age are reflected in education. Educational systems and educational institutions are changing and developing accordingly, and new educational systems are also on the agenda. One of them is coding.

​

Coding training;

It increases academic success by improving students' attention, motivation and problem skills,

It makes the lessons more fun and ensures the attendance of the students to the school,

It improves students' behaviors such as taking over responsibility and being more disciplined.

According to our researches that we have done in our schools:

There is not enough awareness about coding education in teachers, students and their families. Teachers do not have a coding training plan. Coding training materials in schools are insufficient.

​

           Under the coordinatorship of  Tadeusz Kosciuszko Primary School in Cygank from Poland, Mustafa Necati Primary School from Turkey, Bulgaria 107 primary school "Khan Krum", 32nd Primary School of Piraeus in Greece, Italy Dırezıone Dıdattıca Statale “G.Marconı”, Explore The World Of Coding project was developed as European schools.

​

The general aims of the Explore The World Of Coding project are;
