Une façon ludique d’apprendre aux enfants la programmation informatique : www.lecampusjunior.fr Une plateforme internet interactive et entièrement gratuite, pour permettre aux plus jeunes (7-13 ans) de s’initier en s’amusant à la programmation informatique.
Le numérique fait aujourd’hui partie de notre quotidien et l’initiation à la programmation informatique sur le temps périscolaire se met progressivement en place en France. Cette initiation permet de développer chez les enfants certaines compétences fondamentales, telles que la logique et les mathématiques. Mais elle permet aussi de s’ouvrir à un nouvel univers de création, dans lequel les enfants vont pouvoir laisser libre cours à leur imagination pour inventer leurs propres jeux et partager leurs réalisations avec leur famille et leurs amis. Et pourquoi pas se découvrir une vocation ? Une initiation gratuite pour les 7-13 ans Un apprentissage progressif Pour les parents aussi… Diff_2016562060515182125.pdf. Sir Tim Berners-Lee: we need more MPs who know how to code. More politicians need to be able to code if they are to legislate effectively on technology, Sir Tim Berners-Lee said on Saturday.
Berners-Lee, who invented the world wide web in 1989, said it is crucial that politicians appreciate the technical capabilities of computers and that a knowledge of coding is key. Speaking at the Every Second Counts Forum, the renowned computer scientist said: “Being able to code means that you understand what people can do with a computer. You need to be able to understand what people can do with a computer to make laws about it. “We need more people in parliament who can code, not because we need them to spend their time coding but because they have got to understand how powerful a weapon it is, so that they can make laws that require people to code to make machines behave in different ways.”
That impulse has served as a source of direction in her life: “So you’re sitting at the back of a class at school and you think: ‘Well, how can I get out of here? Why Chicago is mandating coding education. NEW YORK (CNNMoney) —Parlez-vous "code"?
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel believes the language of the future is code writing -- and he wants every kid in Chicago to be prepared. In a room full of techies at the Internet of Things World Forum last week, he didn't talk about Chicago's chief data officer or the city's smart parking and LED street lights. Instead, he emphasized the Windy City's commitment to computer science and coding education. "In three years time, you can't graduate from high school in the city of Chicago if you didn't take code writing and computer science," said Mayor Emanuel in conversation with Cisco CEO John Chambers. "We're making it mandatory. " Emanuel first announced the city's five-year plan for computer science education last December.
Computer science is one of the top paying college degrees -- and yet only 2.4% of college students graduate with degrees in the field (a number that's declining). "I believe kids start dropping out of college in third grade. Why Your Daughter Should Be Playing 'Minecraft' Right Now. It is a well-known fact that women are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and math.
The statistics are depressing. Women make up only 28% of the workforce in science and engineering occupations, even though women account for half of the college-educated workforce. This gender disparity begins at an early age, starting in elementary school. Boys outperform girls in math and science in Kindergarten, Grade 4 and Grade 8. Boys are four times more likely to take the computer science Advanced Placement (AP) exam in high school.
What's going on? It’s not that girls are worse at math and science than boys. The fact that our educational system is biased against girls is no surprise given the gendering inherent in our society — have you ever tried to buy clothing for a young girl that wasn’t pink or a pastel color? For kids play is a form of learning — children learn skills based on the type of play that they do. How can parents change that behavior? Get your girls online!
