During coding activities, the students developed problem-solving & creativity skills, as they had to create new products, which would solve a problem. Digital & ICT skills were the main key aspects of the project, since the children had to develop their own codes. Collaboration & communication competences were developed throughout all activities, since the partners had to brainstorm, discuss, decide, design & create their own applications and codes. They used mathematical & logical functions, variables, repetitions & computational thinking so their codes work well. They used analysis & synthesis procedures.
They experimented & learned how to use “right-wrong” trials (debugging). The partners created new projects, using their peers’ codes (“remixing” in Scratch). Coding is the vehicle of the development of the 8 key-competences of digital citizenship: learn how to learn, collaborate & participate, react in an autonomus & responsible way, problem solving, get & interpretate data, communication in mother tongue & foreign languages, have a sense of initiative & entrepreneurship.
