Wize Computing Academy of Ottawa West-East
Our goal is to prepare students to apply computing concepts to real-world problems.
Description
Computers are now part of everyday life and, for most of us, technology is essential to our lives, at home and at work. ‘Computational thinking’ is a skill that all pupils must learn if they are to be ready for the workplace and able to participate effectively in the digital world. Wize Academy curriculum for computing has been developed to equip kids at an early age with the foundational skills, knowledge and understanding of computing they will need for the rest of their lives. Through this program they will learn how computers and computer systems work, they will design and build programs, they will work with robots and design interfaces to operate them, they will develop their ideas using technology, and create a range of digital content. Kids create new projects, work as a team, participate in hackathons and present ideas and creations to the class on a regular basis! Computing helps kids: Think : Programming a computer teaches to think Collaborate : Kids work as a team to realize their ideas Create : Not just use, but create technology Learn : Learn what computing is actually like Play : Kids learn to code while having fun
