The Orange developer Center opened his door one more time for youth to teach them programming. The pupils are from CS field. They already know how program using Pascal. The new thing for them was blocks based programming using Scratch and Blockly.
First, they started by an Hour of code that they did very quickly. And after that, they moved to scratch and they did animated story. The event was covered by the I-Tech TV program. I showed them the exercises and explained the hole context around the world of coding. I proposed to make the exercises of the hour of code and they did not refuse. During the TV interview, the pupils said that they liked the experience and they prefer blocks based programming rather than typing text. You can watch the full interview in Arabic here.
I am Adel Kassah, a computer science teacher in middle school from Tunisia. Now, I am working in the UAE (ABU DHABI) I try to promote coding culture in my country and around the world. I run after school club about programming to kids. I teach them how to make their own games, their own Android App. They learn how to program embedded system and Robotics. I also cooperate with association around Tunisia and share my expertise. I develop my own tool or improve existing one. I made several presentation in conferences about Technology and coding. Lately I was interested about the world of Internet of Things. I made a tool TUNIOT that makes easy programming the NODEMCU board.
