Teach programming to primary school children

We teach primary school children basic computer skills to give them direction, security and media competence in an IT world that is confusing for them. We show them how to control and program the computer in simple steps as part of modules that are coordinated with each other. Programming not only promotes analytical and spatial thinking, but also teamwork and social skills. The "Calliope-mini" mini controller, a favorite in primary school lessons, is also used. Find out more about the Düsseldorf Children's Academy here.

As a member of our dedicated team, you will help to show the children simple steps in the operation and programming of computers. The group sizes are usually 8 to 10 children. We use "Scratch", a graphical programming interface similar to "Lego", which consists of individual components that are put together.

Knowledge of Phyton or Lua programming would be an advantage, but is not a must! However, we assume that you enjoy working with children. And of course you know how to use a computer. If you are interested in trying out new things and can respond to children's wishes, you are welcome to join us.

You have the opportunity to commit 3 hours on Friday afternoons and/or Saturday mornings. We are happy about any support.

 

We require an extended certificate of good conduct from you. We will cover the costs for this, including any expenses you incur in the course of your work with us.
