As part of this project, the “Young programmers” program, which is addressed to middle school students, has been developed. The program aims to introduce students in computational thinking through the Scratch programming application. Employing an exploratory research design, the overall goal of the project is to investigate the potential contribution of new technologies for programming and producing digital stories on students’ computational and creative thinking as well as on the raise of students’ awareness on environmental issues (e.g. waste management).[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]Read more about the “Young programmers” program for schools.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”45″][nectar_btn size=”small” button_style=”see-through-2″ hover_text_color_override=”#ffffff” icon_family=”fontawesome” url=”https://mcl.cut.ac.cy/projects” text=”Back to Projects” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-chevron-left”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]
