The TACCLE3 coding project aims to support teachers in teaching computing to children aged 4-14 by providing resources, in-service training, and a dedicated website. Funded by the European Union's Erasmus+ program, it emphasizes the importance of introducing programming into school curricula to enhance employability and STEM skills. The project, which runs from 2015 to 2017, involves multiple educational institutions across Europe working together to equip teachers with effective coding teaching materials.

- 5. Introduction of software programming in pre- university education Presentation of the TACCLE3 Coding European Project 5 • Different initiatives in different countries • Promote employability and STEM approach • Teaching programming/computer science must be contextualized to not get the opposite result from that sought • Computational thinking as one of the core competencies of the 21st century
- 6. Computational Thinking Presentation of the TACCLE3 Coding European Project 6 “Computational thinking involves solving problems, designing systems, and understanding human behaviour, by drawing on the concepts fundamental to computer science” (Wing, 2006) “Computational thinking as the application of high level of abstraction and an algorithmic approach to solve any kind of problems” (García-Peñalvo, 2016)

Taccle 3 – Coding project information Presentation of the TACCLE3 Coding European Project 8 • European project that aims to support Primary School and other teachers who want to teach Computing to 4 - 14 year olds. It equips classroom teachers with the knowledge and the materials they need by developing a website of ideas and resources together with in-service training courses and other staff development events • Funded by the European Union Erasmus + KA2 Programme (Ref. 2015-1- BE02-KA201-012307) • Duration: September 2015 – August 2017 • Global budget: 279.940€ • http://www.taccle3.eu/

- 10. Project aims Presentation of the TACCLE3 Coding European Project 10 1. To equip fellow classroom teachers, whatever their level of confidence, with the knowledge and the materials they need to teach coding effectively 2. To develop a website of easy-to-follow and innovative ideas and resources to aid teachers in teaching coding. It will also include a review of the current academic research and an overview of the resources currently available for teaching coding 3. To provide national and international in-service training courses and other staff development events to help support and develop confidence and competences in teaching coding
- 12. Content organisation Presentation of the TACCLE3 Coding European Project 12 • We start with European reality in which many governments are introducing programming as an essential material official curricula • This is already a reality in some countries, while others are studying how to do • The level of detail of each curriculum will be different in each country, but there are common elements in all of them • The following items may be highlighted: programming, control technologies and computational thinking
