Resources

Here’s some of the publicly available assets I’ve built over the years :

STEM Learning Resources @ KidzCanCode – One of the major challenges i faced as a volunteer during the initial days when running CoderDojo Altona North (kids codeclub) was having to remember which website or web resource to navigate to when working with a parent / child team. To remedy that situation, I built (& currently maintain) a STEM learning portal that consolidates useful learning resources on coding, robotics, electronics, 3D Printing, etc. from all over the web. Over the years I have also developed learning content of my own which is now accessible for free through the portal. You can access all of these STEM learning resources for FREE through the following links –

  1. https://www.kidzcancode.com
  2. https://learning.kidzcancode.com.

The STEM learning resources at KidzCanCode are used by the kids, parents in class on a weekly basis at CoderDojo Altona North. Parents and kids work through the coding, robotics, electronics, 3D printing, etc. challenges hosted at KidzCanCode. All of the resources at KidzCanCode are accessible for free by anyone from anywhere in the world.

STEM Learning Roadmap – To make it easy for volunteers and parents at CoderDojo Altona North I have pulled together a STEM Learning Roadmap that attempts to provide insight into how we might navigate through different STEM learning challenges we offer in class. The amount of learning content available out there, combined with the kits, hardware we have in class makes it really difficult for the new volunteer or parent at CoderDojo Altona North. This STEM Learning Roadmap is just that, a loosely defined roadmap that attempts to provide direction and options with regards to the nature of challenges we might consider when working with a parent / child team.

However when making a decision with regards to which challenge to get the parent / child team to work on i would consider factors including but not limited to – the child’s ability to read and write, the individual child’s interests, any prior STEM learning experience the child might have, any prior interest the child has shown with regards to the STEM challenges we have to offer, the child’s ability to take on complex STEM challenges, including the nature of challenges that would provide the child a suitable stretch in terms of learning.
