Programming Adventures With Friends
Welcome to Our Coding4Teens
Coding4Teens is Asia- Europe(ASEF) ClassNet Collaboration Project run by a group of vocational teachers & educators who have a mission to spread the love for coding to our students. Our goal is to provide these programs with services, solutions, and a community that allows them to flourish in a way that fosters the technical and interpersonal skills necessary for students to succeed in the 21st Century. Coding4Teens is committed to promoting technology and related student and professional advancement so that one day these programs become accessible to all students and all schools in all communities.
About Us
Asia-Europe Classroom Network Collaboration Project , 2016 on the theme
< Code, Education> ,
Digital Game - Based Learning Project
Project background
The “CODING FOR TEENS ” is the second part of PLAY TO LEARN . While in the previous editions students explored the traditional games of a certain country to understand its culture, in this project through playing fun coding games to know code, through playing programming to solve challenging problems .
The initiative will aim to inspire the students in ASEF ClassNet Online
gives students confidence that they can be designers and builders.
Our mission
Collaborations with teachers to introduce Code4Teens to students in their networks, inspire them to code , encourage them to complete their first coding experience.
Gain skills that are useful to students - not only learning to program, but also learning about computational thinking, problem solving, planning, designing and collaboration.

Our vision
The participants will :
-
Improve a very basic knowledge of three different modern coding languages: Scratch, HTML/CSS and Python.
-
Raise the confidence and engagement in coding and computing.
-
Be encouraged collaboration and problem solving, planning, designing through project based learning activities.
What we're doing
Collaboration with teacher coordinators to introduce Code4Teens to students in their networks, inspire them to code , encourage them to complete their first coding experience.
In “Coding for Teens” students learned basic computer languages. Through step-by-step coding guidance, the students learned to create animations, games and websites. Every month, 48-hour teen hack-a-thons was held, where students competed against each other with building simple games or applications. Since the students were free to create what they wanted, they could become very creative. Ideas for Asia-Europe coding collaborations were shared over Skype or Facebook. The students learned to cooperate in a multicultural environment to overcome the obstacles they came across.

"I am a Maths teacher and I am convinced that coding and technology can support and make Maths, Sciences, and other subjects more enjoiable and understandable. They also help students to develop analitical thinking, team work and creativity. I carry out all my activities based on my belief that teachers must be able to challenge and inspire pupils, inside or outside the classrooms, make them understand the world they live in. Being part of ASEF`s projects and community helped me to achieve these goals."

"I’d like to express my sincere thanks to you and the team for your initiative and new method of teaching English to secondary school pupils.
I have some observations and comments on how the new method has helped my son to improve his ICT and English and more importantly to enjoy his studying .
The new method truly reflects the nature of “learning by doing”, the students were given a chance to do a whole project by themselves and that make them feel excited and see the ownership.
I do believe that all children need to be computer literate if they want to survive in the modern world. So we see my son needs to learn a computer language to get benefits as to know a more foreign language..."
Mihnea Steiu, student
Petru Maior High School, Romania
"It's been a pleasure being part of a project in which I got in touch with students from Asia and Europe and I also competed with them in a coding contest named Coding4Teens Scratch Competition. I think learning how to code is very important because coding is a way of communicating with the computer and also with the programmers. Hope I'll meet more coders and will learn more. Code on! "
Tanmay Vij , student
St. Mark's Sr. Sec. Public School, Meera Bagh, New Delhi India
"As a part of the ASEF Network, the Coding for Teens Project was extremely successful in fulfilling its objective. Even the students who were novice to the programming world got a chance to learn to code and get a taste of the basic concepts of computer programming through collaboration and coordination. Students also got an opportunity to showcase what they learnt with the help of the competition organized during the final phase of the project. This encouraged the students to work hard towards their projects, thus giving them practical experience."
Septimiu Moldovan, student
Petru Major High School, Romania
"For me, the ``Coding for Teens`` project was both a positive experience and an opportunity to test my level in informatics, to develop my creativity, but it also linked me with others. I could never think I effectively collaborate with others in India or in Serbia or to create a game and use an idea in a domain I wish to know more. Because of the efforts of ASEF, Coding for Teens and my professors I am now linked to more people and know what means to be part of a team. Thank you!"
Thanh Gia Hien Nguyen, student
Experimental Secondary School , Vietnam.
"Starting from topic selection to project activities execution and role assignment among the team, the student actually perform excellent team work. The project is a perfect platform for students to express themselves, learning from one another, building their own argument and showing their capability to convince the audience. The more we learn about the code the more we are inspired because we do all the research by making code games , creating code stories and discover new things on code."
Denis Marginean , student
Petru Maior High School, Romania.
"Coding For Teens " was a really interesting experience and I really liked socializing with people that have the same hobby as me. It was great to be part of an ASEF project and now me and my classmates are involved in another partnership E- Bazar."
ASEF ClassNet projects have given a great impact on Experimental Scondary School.
By Mrs. Chau Pham , International Coordinator Experimental Secondary School
"ASEF projects play practical and constructive roles to our students of Experimental Secondary School. Participating in ASEF projects has provided our students solid interactions, inspirational motivation, group conversations and initiative ideas. Through engaging in ASEF projects, our students’ messages and abilities can be communicated and performed more widely. It helps our students grow in confidence, independence, and outgoingness. Typically, they become more open to the new things rather than just their comfort zone."
