Lesedauer: ca. 3 Minuten
*This experience report about the work in CoderDojo was written by a former member in March 2022 (editor’s note). In the third semester of the Master’s degree course in Business Communication, I was able to encounter the development of the project and soon-to-be association CoderDojo Schöneweide at HTW Berlin. At the information event, I particularly liked the motivation and vision of confronting children of a young age with the world of programming in a playful way.

Lesedauer: ca. 2 Minuten
On 17.05.2023 and 24.05.2023 we were at the Karlshorst elementary school and organized a Scratch workshop on the topic of sagas together with the 6th grade students. On May 17th, after a short introduction, we started directly with the robot game. The pupils were faced with the difficult task of programming our robot Ilja so that he could satisfy his hunger for toast with peanut butter. This required many intermediate steps, such as unwrapping the toast and inserting the knife into the peanut butter.

On March 4, we held the Processing-Worksop. We looked at the program “Processing” with children aged 12 and over - for many it was their first time programming with text. How exciting! And really well mastered. The aim of the workshop was to provide a fun introduction to programming by using Processing to create images and animations. Participants were given a brief introduction to the color theory of the RGB system as used by computer screens.

On two weekends, February 11 and 12 and February 18 and 19, kids were able to make their own VR goggles, design PixelArt or play Jump’n’Run SuperMario live in the gym at the FEZ leisure and recreation center. We took part in the CoderDojo on the 11th and 12th with two workshops each entitled “Robot competitions”. We didn’t really have anything to do with competitions. Instead, similar to the crazy lab in November, there were a wide variety of challenges that had to be mastered with DashBots.

In the following lines, I would like to share my impressions of CoderDojo Schöneweide, which I received during the winter semester 22/23. I myself am a student at the HTW and came to the CoderDojo via the selection list of the HTW’s AWE modules. My first impressions were of some really friendly people who are enthusiastic and enjoy what they do. As well as working on the well thought out workshops, there is a lot going on behind the scenes here.

As part of our AWE at the HTW, we (Philipp and Jonas) have been working on making our website a little better. You’re probably thinking that something visible to you readers has changed. But when developing websites, a lot happens in the background that you don’t usually see directly. Our project was about simplifying the creation of these blog posts. Before our project, the creation of blog articles was much more complicated and very technical.

Programming is already pretty cool, but in the cold temperatures our fingers freeze on the keyboards and we look for new challenges. For example, soldering. This was made possible by contacts at xHain and we are happy about this collaboration, even if we had to leave our cozy room in Schöneweide for it. You probably already know how our programming workshops work from the other blog articles. If not, then you should definitely read them!

We have recently given some thought to how we want to organize our cooperation in the team of the CoderDojo team as well as in workshops and other events we organize. The result of this have been recorded in our new Code of Conduct! Our Code of Conduct consists of three parts: General principles of conduct, conduct towards team colleagues and Behavior towards children and young people. The general part defines rules that we would like to see in our dealings with each other.

Today you can find badges or trophy systems in many learning platforms or learning apps. They are designed to motivate learning enthusiasts such as children, for example, in order to promote fun and learning progress. I asked myself to what extent badges and trophy systems can encourage children to learn programming and how they influence a child’s fun and self-motivation. To do this, I first looked at research on the use of badges in education.

In movies, hackers often sit in dark rooms, shrouded in eternal night. Our workshop in cooperation with HTW Hackt showed that there is another way: it was a sunny Saturday afternoon, blue skies and bright rooms in which our ninjas could train. The topic this time was XSS, which stands for cross-site scripting and simply put means executing code on websites via input fields. Since you can’t just hack in everywhere, the people from HTW Hackt created a website themselves, which the participants were allowed to explore.

This also enables the construction of larger redstone circuits. We showed our young participants how it is possible to build small circuits in Minecraft.

Computer science has its origins in the 19th century. The founder of this science and the first female programmer was Ada Lovelace with her algorithm for calculating Bernoulli numbers with the Analytical Engine calculating machine. From the beginning of the computer until the 1980s, programming was considered a “typical female profession”. The first electronic computer was used in 1942 for war purposes on behalf of the US Army. Especially during the Second World War, only women did programming, which is now hard to believe, as the computer science industry today only has a very small proportion of women.
