Coding

with Six Bricks

‘Coding with Six Bricks’ is a certified course to foster Computational Thinking (CT) & early Coding Skills into classrooms effectively using Six Bricks.

Coding as a practical skill and computational thinking (CT) as a cognitive ability have become an important topic in education and research.

It has been suggested that CT, as an early predictor of academic success, should be introduced and fostered early in education.

This course is designed to inculcate foundational coding skills using Six LEGO Duplo bricks. Educators can enrol for this course as a separate course as well as L3 & L4 course, in progression to Level 1 & 2 course.
