Learners develop a basic understanding of Calliope mini, become familiar with the user interface of the Open Roberta Lab, and gain an understanding of the symbiosis between software and hardware, recognizing how programmed instructions are implemented into actual actions of Calliope mini.

Learners acquire the skill to appropriately use the basic NEPO blocks. They develop an understanding of sequential programming as well as the basics of control structures. This enables them to independently create and run simple programs. In addition, they acquire the competence to identify and fix errors that occur in their programs.

Learners acquire a basic understanding of the range and functionality of the Calliope mini's sensors. They are able to develop programs that actively respond to external influences. By creating such interactive applications, they also sharpen their ability to analyze complex problems and find creative solutions.

Coding & Deutsch

Coding Module

Why should German and programming be learnt at the same time?

The Goethe-Institut responds to the early digital development in the MINT - field with this offer of innovative learning, alongside promoting the acquisition of the German language skill. Through the sustainable integrated language learning program, young people are perpared for the increasingly global job market or potential studies in Germany. With the learning program "Coding & German", children and young people learn to use hardware such as the Calliope Mini minicomputer and take an initial step in learning the German language through the CLIL approach in a face-to-face format and at the same time receive basic computer science education.

The Calliope Mini

Calliope Mini

The Calliope mini is a single-board computer that was developed for educational purposes and is used in German primary schools. The Calliope mini is equipped with different components that can be controlled.

The programming environment

The Open Roberta®Lab is a freely available graphical programming platform that makes learning programming easy. Even newcomers can create their first programs in no time using drag and drop option on the open source platform of the Roberta® "Learning with Robots" - an initiative from Fraunhofer IAIS.
