Hands on Hack 2017 - Coding Jam @ the Future Classroom Lab
As in 2016, the organisers will lead the work from the Future Classroom Lab in Brussels, and any team joining the initiative is most welcome to organise its own branch event, participate to the competition and connect with the organisers online.
The aim of this initiative is to raise awareness on the importance of digital skills for a digital citizen and experiment together how engaging and meaningful is to create digital content and tools, and to become makers rather than just consumers of technology.
The coding jam will revolve around three major themes and the best projects will be awarded under the following categories:
DIGITAL CREATIVITY - PROBLEM SOLVING - THE FUTURE OF LEARNING
The coding jam is open to everyone (educators, students, practitioners, parents, policy makers etc.) and no previous knowledge of computer programming is required. The organizer can also choose the coding/programming language (including visual ones as Scratch, Kodu, Alice, etc.) most suitable to him/her.
For more information, find the guidelines here.
