Join the European Code League!
We invite you and your students to get creative and present your innovative coding projects for STEM lessons in primary and secondary schools at the European Code League.
coding projects you've developed with your students.
You are free to use digital tools such as microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Calliope, etc.) and/or various programming environments and languages (Snap!, Scratch, C++, etc.). You can find inspiration in the teaching material 'Coding in STEM Education'
All European STEM teachers and STEM teachers in training from primary school to secondary school can participate with their students.
The categories are:
- Fundamental Science in 1’s and 0’s
How does the world around us work? Students simulate, analyse and explore scientific phenomena using digital tools. - Microcontrolling the World
How do we use digital tools to connect with the world around us? Students design, code and build various applications to interact with their environment (Internet of Things, human-machine interface, remote control and automation, artificial intelligence, etc.) - Environment 4.0
How can we use digital tools to explore and protect nature and our environment? (Implementation of simulation, microcontrollers, sensors etc. for environmental aspects)
- The complete application documents (Download)
- A poster (digital format) documenting your project designed by the students (Download poster template and instructions)
- Short film (maximum 2.5 minutes) about your project made by the students (Download video requirements and instructions)
Send the complete documents via email to .(Javascript muss aktiviert sein, um diese E-Mail-Adresse zu sehen). You can send the video using services such as Google Drive, wetransfer or Dropbox.
The closing date for entries is 1 April 2020.
Additional information:
Teachers can apply for financial support from Science on Stage for e.g. microcontrollers and other hardware for up to 150 €. Please send the request for material support (form) to .(Javascript muss aktiviert sein, um diese E-Mail-Adresse zu sehen).
The criteriaIn the evaluation process the jury will rank all applications using the following criteria:
- Quality of the project (relevance of the topic, sustainibility and outreach of the project, didactic approach, learning experience for the students etc.)
- Creativity (innovativeness of the project and the implemantation)
- Active involvement of the students (inquiry based learning, teamwork, design thinking, project work etc.)
- Presentation of the result (content and quality of the poster and video)
A jury will select the 10 best teams from all entries (3 students and 2 teachers per team). They will be able to present their results at an international final.
The final of the European Code League will take place from 18 - 19 september 2020 at the Technoseum in Mannheim, Germany.
Decisive criteria for the jury are creativity, active involvement of the students, content and presentation of the results.
The prizes are the participation in the European Science on Stage Festival 2021 for the teachers and a surprise for the students.
