"Our project, “We little XXI century explorers, ready to map and code out territory”, in partnership with Croatia, Poland, Lithuania, and Italy as coordinator, has had as main target children ranging from 3 to 14 years of age. The project has focused on two main fields, seemingly unconnected one to the other, but becoming, afterwards, complementary: -the exploring of known and unknown locations and monuments of our territory, ( to develop in our children a major awareness of their surroundings); -and the study of the new computational technique of ""coding”. Thus, our pupils have become “little explorers”, searching locations, monuments or objects, reconsidered by them for their important past, and learning, by research work and interviews to elder people living in the territory, all the historical and artistic value concerning them. This part of our project work has aroused, in a significant way, the awareness of our local surroundings. Then, like little geographers, they have traced ancient and current trails or paths leading to them and, using ""coding"", they have produced paper and virtual coded maps to share. They have also represented these coded paths and the storytelling of their local sites and monuments, producing many Scratch projects, bettering logical and ICT skills. All this work has been brought forward by the children, using our community language, which is English, thus developing foreign language skills in a meaningful way. The results we’ve obtained in all our partner schools have been amazing; what we initially thought to be ambitious (coding), has aroused interest and involvement in all our project participants (children and adults), and also in people outside the project, like teachers in other schools in our territory. With teaching “coding” to our children, they have learnt to face and cope with problem situations, understanding that they need to be faced gradually and in order of logical succession; algorithms have been very useful in conveying this type of computational thinking; our children have learnt to approach problem situations by reason, by assuming step by step solutions and acquiring knowledge “using their own mind” (coding)."
