Join Isabella Lieghio, Barefoot volunteer and education consultant at Icon learning, in this interactive lesson for early and first level learners.

Explore one of the newest Barefoot Computing resources. This has been created for pupils in the early years to help develop their computational thinking skills. 

Activities are based on our real-life superheroes, the people who help us every day. In this session children will guide a delivery person to the correct destination while exploring computational thinking concepts and approaches.

Everything you need is provided on the Barefoot Computing website. This includes activity plans with ideas for developing computational thinking in the early years, curriculum links, all printable resources and links to extend their learning.

Please visit Barefoot Computing Early Years and create a free account to access all resources. Check out the introduction video, to learn more about developing computational thinking approaches in play and learning such as tinkering, creating and debugging.

Download and print the activity plans, maps and labels. ahead of the live lesson.

This session is for all practitioners, including childminders working with early and first level learners.

Practitioners are also welcome to join the live lesson without children to observe how the resources can be delivered.

This session will be recorded.
