Coding Lesson in Cologne: Experience Apps, Robots, and Analog Programming Ideas

Incorporating Coding Playfully into Lessons

How can we create a motivating introduction to programming for children from first to sixth grade? The event Designing a Lesson on Coding demonstrates to teachers and educational staff in Cologne schools how digital education can be lively, practical, and age-appropriate without extensive programming knowledge.

Analog Exercises, Apps, and Learning Robots

At KOMEZ – Municipal Media Center Cologne, concrete teaching ideas and hands-on experimentation are at the forefront. Participants will navigate various coding tasks, discover analog programming exercises, and learn about suitable apps and websites for school practice.

The event experience is particularly vivid due to the use of various learning robots. Step by step, a tangible connection is created between algorithmic thinking, playful learning, and creative media work. Thus, coding is experienced as a child-friendly access to digital education.

Practical Knowledge for Grades 1 to 6

The event is aimed at teachers and educational staff who wish to integrate coding into lessons or educational offerings. The low-threshold structure facilitates entry and creates space for questions, exchange, and personal ideas for implementation in everyday school life.

From an event planning perspective, the format combines professional orientation with practical testing. The target audience remains consciously open to beginners: Programming knowledge is not required to participate. Learning robots and other media can subsequently be borrowed free of charge from KOMEZ.
