1. #SuperCoders Sandra James – Orange Group pan-European workshops on coding for children

2. 2 Our participation in EU Coding Week gave us the opportunity to do more to encourage kids to get the most out of the internet  our approach to a safer internet for children consists of –offering tools to support parenting in a digital environment (parental controls, cost management solutions etc) –developing awareness and empowerment programmes for parents & schoolchildren  moving from “Less Internet” to “Better Internet" –by shifting the focus from “child protection” alone, to a more positive experience of the internet in a safe and responsible environment  coding initiatives contribute to a positive experience for children –awareness, literacy, education –creation, co-creation –sharing, engagement, self-confidence –fun

3. 3 Orange participated in the code week with the #SuperCoders initiative in 4 European Countries

4. 4  in France, Spain, Poland, Romania  for children 10 to 13 years old, boys and girls, either already total computer whizzes or complete beginners  to create their own video animation/game and to experience what coding is  on Saturday 11 Oct, 250 children in 10 different European cities attended a 4-hour workshop  centered on a common programme and theme “SuperCoders”, so that the children could exchange ideas and compare their projects  using the MIT “Scratch” platform (http://scratch.mit.edu/ ) and a dedicated support toolkithttp://scratch.mit.edu/  with live exchanges via telepresence between children from different workshops  with coaches from external partners and volunteer Orange employees

5. 5 #SuperCoders workshops were organised with the support of local partners that provided their expertise and facilities  Simplon.co / Kid Coding Club, a social enterprise in France and Romania that provides coding training to under- privileged people and to children (Orange has also created a MOOC on coding with Simplon “Décoder le Code” https://solerni.org)  MediaLab Prado, a program led by the city of Madrid and Orange Chair from the Polytechnic University of Madrid;  CoderDojo in Poland, promoting computer programming to young people.

6. interne Orange6 #SuperCoders were the heroes of the animations and games created by the children. A tool kit was created in Scratch (characters, backgrounds, accessories, sounds…)

7. interne Orange7 in just a few hours, children in small teams were able to create projects going from simple animations to multiplayer games game. The character needs to reach the top of the glacier without being burned by the breath of the dragon http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/29369268 http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/29377964/ multi-player game. The characters must catch each other Animation. Walk and talk on the moon http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/29377964/

8. 8 Feedback globally, very positive results : tool, pedagogical support, workshop format, age group, high demand, active participation, good cooperation between partners.

9. 9 Feedback good mix of gender and social backgrounds

10. 10 Feedback further leverage the potential of live inter-actions between children from different countries

11. 11 Next steps  once a year is not enough. Orange BUs are looking to renew the experience on a recurrent basis.  other countries such as countries from AMEA to be included in the next phase.
