i-Code for pre-school is an educational tangible and narrative coding solution, consisting of a series of concrete, manipulatable tiles and a tablet application. It is an engaging and exciting way to introduce coding into educational programming and to promote first-time interest in STEAM disciplines, giving children the opportunity to create, design, and tell stories. Through collaboration and the combination of fixed elements and virtual environments, i-Code introduces children to computational thinking and trains problem-solving. In addition, it contributes to the development of logical-scientific thinking and, at the same time, artistic-expressive skills and relational skills necessary for teamwork.

Product overview

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  1. i-Code App Installation

Download i-Code directly from Google Play or the App Store, install the application on your tablet, activate the license received with the kit and the associated accounts on your first access.

  1. Choice of backgrounds and characters

Children can acquire backgrounds and characters drawn on paper with the camera, or they can photograph their surroundings. Alternatively, the i-Code app offers a library of predefined art-quality backgrounds and characters.

  1. Combining cards and programming the story

By combining the 43 kit cards and numerical parameters, they can then create a sequence of actions for each character in the story: go right, disappear, jump, and more.

  1. Sequence acquisition and voice recording

Once the preparations are complete, it’s time to go on stage, framing the cards with the camera of the tablet to make the characters move and record their voices! You can also add background music or a narrating voice!

  1. Saving the story and uploading to the i-Code portal

After fixing all the details and correcting any errors, the project is automatically uploaded to the i-Code portal and all the related materials made (characters, backgrounds, footage) are available at all times!

  1. Gradual learning with the ‘challenges’ section

Do you feel like a savvy programmer? Discover the challenges available in the app, to test your coding skills on a path of increasing difficulty!
