Involve Sweden

A project for teaching programming and computer science in primary and secondary education.

We have received a 15,000€ grant from Google CS4HS to start the project and will begin by trying it out on secondary schools in southern Sweden. The project will initially focus on introducing programming as a tool in mathematics courses, which is the direction that programming is likely to go in Swedens secondary education system.

  • All material will be open source.
  • We will try our hardest to make the content engaging and interesting for students.
  • We accept contributions.

Getting started

To get started as fast as possible, we suggest you use the online Python 3 environment at repl.it.

We still have more work to do before this is usable as a part of a curriculum. But in the meantime, you can check out the cheatsheet and the exercises.

Problems

  • How do you make programming exercises for a mathematics course?
  • Which language should we write the material in?
    • Swedish:
      • (+) We will use it on Swedish students, who probably want it in Swedish.
      • (-) Real programs are never written in Swedish.
      • (-) The course material will have limited reuse outside of Sweden.
    • English:
      • (+) The English terminology is a de-facto standard that you need to know as a programmer.
      • (+) All the help resources available online is in English.
