PROGRAM INFORMATION
At This program, students shall begin by learning the fundamentals of programming and the use of design to solve a global challenge, by using block and text-based programming using python language, applying computer science concepts through designing and coding software games to build and increase students’ problem solving and project management skills as well as creativity
Using the Engineering Design Process (EDP) and Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) as well as the basic game design process.
The students derive solutions to a mentioned problem/challenge through the program sessions implementing the STEAM approach and the usage of Technology to also build and raise their social responsibility through the program.
During the course students will learn and implement the following concepts:
-
Get introduced to trending technological fields.
-
Learn how to program and simulate robots in a Virtual Environment.
