codering en algoritmiek, speciale onderwijsbehoeften

The board shows a code (e.g. symbols, colours, signs) that must be reproduced by drawing or colouring according to the instruction. The child learns to interpret simple codes and apply rules. The activity develops analytical thinking and working systematically with a scheme.

The boards are operated with IR light pens – children draw directly on the displayed image, selecting different colours and brush types in the application. The play area can be divided into three boards displayed side by side, allowing several children to work at the same time. The application consists of a set of boards with tasks, and each board has a helpful instruction. Children create their works according to a pattern or their own ideas, which develops their independent thinking and creativity.

The application is designed for preschool and early school age children. They can use it individually or in a group, combining play with learning on an interactive floor, using IR pens.
