In the Digitaltutor Coding Club, participants learn to playfully program, build robots, design digitally and master funny challenges. With this innovative education offer, we focuson skills for the future by guiding the children to find a healthier use of technology. Using WeDo students will get an introduction to basic coding and robotics by first creating and building a robot, e.g. an hungry alligator robot, and then proceed toprogramming. The objective of the code is to allow the alligator to catch the unwary prey that appears nearby its jaws (alligators can be very patient by nature).
