We help ordinary teachers to become experts of *teaching* coding. This camp is a hands-on introduction of a pedagogical model how to teach coding and robotics in a cross-subject, project-based way in for K-12 grades. #### For whom? - Class teachers and subject teachers in K-12 education - Teachers who want to develop their teaching practice to include coding or robotics - Teachers who wish to stay ahead in the professional competition - Beginner - intermediate level: no prior experience in coding or robotics is required, but camp will offer new perspectives and projects for those who already teach coding   #### What? - Pedagogical principles for 21st century coding education - Hands-on coding and robotics projects for primary and secondary school - Participants receive teaching materials that support facilitating cross-curricular projects in classroom   ![CSF Map and logos 1080x1080 (2)](https://pages.codeschool.fi/hs-fs/hubfs/CSF%20Map%20and%20logos%201080x1080%20(2).png?width=600&height=600&name=CSF%20Map%20and%20logos%201080x1080%20(2).png "CSF Map and logos 1080x1080 (2)") ## About Code School Finland With our experience of teaching future skills to children and students since 2014, we have developed a pedagogical model that supports building future skills in an optimal way.
