Educational videos where you will gain insights into the importance of informatics education and learn about innovative approaches to tailor it to today’s children, the digital natives.
In this first video of the DIGITAL FIRST educational video series, we are welcoming you to the world of informatics education, navigating through the expanding field of informatics, the importance of informatics education at schools and the key role of digital skills and literacy in today’s world. Thanks to our project partner T-HAP for the production of this video.
In this second video of the Digital First educational series, we present key research findings on the theory and practice of teaching informatics in primary and secondary schools across 10 EU countries. It seeks to answer the following questions: What do we learn/teach, how do we learn/teach it, and are we happy about it?
Thanks to our project partner, Vilnius University, for the production of this video.
This short film captures the core of Digital First project, turning computing lessons into hands-on, real-world challenges. By learning through educational robotics, students experience coding not as abstract theory but as an engaging way to solve everyday tasks. Beyond the excitement of using “moving machines”, the video shows why Digital First’s “functional” approach to informatics matters for everyone’s future. We can see teams of young creators testing ideas, exploring data with sensors, and imagining robotic pets or self-driving cars, practical experiences that build digital confidence, collaboration and creativity. It’s an inspiring glimpse of how today’s classrooms can prepare tomorrow’s citizens to be not just users of technology, but its inventors.
