"Take the initiative and organize a Code Week event in your classroom It is up to you and this is the best contribution you can provide to Europe Code Week. The success of the event depends only on your motivation and engagement.
Pick up a date and schedule the event. Try to pick up a date between 10 and 18 of October. If possible, organize the event in school hours: it’s easier and it involves all the pupils. Choose the theme and the activity Feel free to invent your own method, but you don’t need to be original. There are many great resources that you can re-use. You don’t need to be an expert. If coding is new for, your curiosity will motivate your pupils.
Choose the right place. If you have a computer room available use it, but if you feel that it’is complicated, go without it. What really matters are people, not rooms! 5 Add your event to the map of Code Week Name your event and add it to the map of Code Week events. Raise curiosity and expectation. Try to involve the whole school. 6 Manage your event If you have no coding experience take the part of your pupils and learn with and from them. Don’t forget to count the number of participants and, if authorized, take pictures and videos to be used for storytelling.
Fill in the feedback form and get your certificate of recognition Right after Code Week you will be asked to report on the number of participants. A certificate of recognition will be automatically generated for you. Guidelines for teachers http://codeweek.eu/resources"
