Description

Expérience des ateliers Scratch dans les écoles pour les enfants de 3ième (Scratch, Thymio) & Présentation des side-events dans le cadre de la conférence Scratch2017BDX Orange, in cooperation with all the regional directorates (including the Caribbean and the Reunion Island) organizes coding workshops #SuperCodeurs to accompany the youngest (9-14 years) in their digital life. More than 2000 volunteer employees in France, representing mainly Orange Labs and our Code-rooms developers' communities are gathered to coach children. This system, first associated with the EU Code-week, has been enriched since 2016 with #SuperCoders workshops for college students from the Priority Education Networks. These new courses are composed of 50% of discovery of the company and its trades and 50% of code training with Scratch and training in robotics with Thymio. The children thus discover an open learning mode and understand that they can master their digital environment. Some school drop-outs were able to find meaning in this experiment and even convinced their headmaster to organize #SuperCodeurs coding workshops in their schools where they wanted to become a junior coach with Orange employees.
