Application Package: Funcoding 1

Funcoding 1 – an application that develops computational thinking!

The Funcoding 1 package is an innovative set of applications designed for preschool children and kindergarten students, introducing the basics of programming, coding, and decoding – without a computer! The applications combine elements of mathematics, nature, logic, and music, developing visuomotor-spatial coordination and computational thinking. Through play and movement, children learn experientially, developing their skills naturally and engagingly.

What makes this package special?

• 4 interactive applications introducing children to programming.
• Aligned with the current curriculum, making it a valuable support for teachers.
• Each application has three levels of difficulty, adapted to the age and abilities of the children.
• Develops visuomotor-spatial coordination and computational thinking.
• Expands the teacher’s toolkit with engaging and innovative educational solutions.
• Includes a comprehensive educational and methodological package – essential for working with children.

Also included in the package:

• Lesson plans with instructions for games to facilitate lesson organisation.
• Worksheets to help children consolidate the skills they have learned.

Applications included in The Funcoding 1 package:

• Sound Coding – a musical journey into the world of coding!
  Follow the tracks of animals and discover the sounds they make! This mathematics- and music-themed application develops listening skills, rhythm, and logical thinking. Children learn coding and decoding of sounds while composing their own musical pieces. Three difficulty levels allow adaptation to the age and skills of participants. This application shows that programming is more than working at a computer – it is a fascinating adventure full of sounds and rhythms!

• Orchestra Conductor – become the creator of your own orchestra!
  Become a conductor and composer at the same time! In the “Conductor” application, children choose instruments, create compositions, and lead the orchestra together. The application develops creativity, teaches collaboration, and introduces the basics of coding and decoding. The mathematics- and music-based format allows children to learn through creative play – without a computer. Three difficulty levels make it suitable for both younger and older children.

• Similar or Different – help the bees collect nectar!
  This mathematics- and nature-themed application lets children act as a beekeeper helping bees collect nectar. A colourful board and diverse tasks support logical thinking, analysis and synthesis, as well as coding and decoding skills. The game also develops spatial coordination while encouraging children to explore nature and the life of bees. Three difficulty levels allow adaptation to each child’s needs.

• Rhythms and Patterns – create your own necklaces!
  In “Rhythms and Patterns,” children help an ant navigate an anthill maze, collecting beads to make beautiful necklaces. The game develops pattern recognition and reproduction, visuomotor coordination, and the basics of coding and decoding. Its mathematics- and nature-based approach combines learning with discovering rhythms and patterns in the surrounding world.

The Funcoding 1 package is an excellent tool for teachers who want to enrich their lessons with programming elements and develop key future skills in children.
