Sicilianews24.it: L’Istituto “A. Manzoni” premiato per l’innovazione didattica alla Code Week 2025

Alessandria della Rocca – L’Istituto Comprensivo “A. Manzoni”, diretto dalla dirigente scolastica Marinella Carmela La Rosa, ha ottenuto il Certificato di Eccellenza per la partecipazione alla sfida “Code Week for All”, iniziativa promossa nell’ambito della European Code Week 2025. Il riconoscimento premia le scuole che promuovono con continuità il pensiero computazionale e lo sviluppo delle competenze digitali tra gli studenti.
Il progetto è stato coordinato dall’insegnante Adriana Sardo, Super Organiser dell’iniziativa, e ha coinvolto numerose classi dell’istituto. La collaborazione tra docenti e alunni ha trasformato le attività in un’esperienza di apprendimento concreta, dinamica e altamente partecipata.

Dall’11 al 26 ottobre le aule della scuola si sono trasformate in veri e propri laboratori di innovazione. Gli studenti hanno sperimentato diverse attività di coding e robotica educativa: dai percorsi con CodyRoby e Code.org, alla programmazione dei robot Bee-Bot e Doc, costruendo sequenze di comandi e affrontando sfide logiche. Non sono mancate attività unplugged su scacchiera e lavori di pixel art, oltre alla progettazione e animazione di modelli meccanici con i kit Lego WeDo 2.0.
«Sperimentando con il coding», spiega l’insegnante Adriana Sardo, «gli studenti imparano a progettare soluzioni, valutare i risultati e trasformare le difficoltà in opportunità di crescita. Attraverso queste esperienze sviluppano autonomia, responsabilità e capacità di collaborazione, competenze fondamentali non solo nella tecnologia ma anche nella vita quotidiana e nelle relazioni con gli altri».
Il riconoscimento ottenuto rappresenta la conferma dell’impegno dell’Istituto “A. Manzoni” nel promuovere una scuola innovativa e inclusiva, capace di stimolare la curiosità degli studenti, valorizzarne i talenti e prepararli ad affrontare con sicurezza e competenza le sfide del futuro.

The “A. Manzoni” Institute was awarded for innovative teaching methods at Code Week 2025.

Alessandria della Rocca – The “A. Manzoni” Comprehensive Institute, directed by headmistress Marinella Carmela La Rosa, has received the Certificate of Excellence for its participation in the “Code Week for All” challenge, an initiative promoted within the European Code Week 2025. The recognition rewards schools that consistently promote computational thinking and the development of digital skills among students.

The project was coordinated by teacher Adriana Sardo, Super Organizer of the initiative, and involved numerous classes of the institute. The collaboration between teachers and students transformed the activities into a concrete, dynamic, and highly participatory learning experience.

From October 11th to 26th, the school classrooms transformed into true innovation laboratories. Students experimented with various coding and educational robotics activities: from pathways with CodyRoby and Code.org, to programming Bee-Bot and Doc robots, building command sequences and tackling logical challenges. Unplugged activities on chessboards and pixel art, as well as the design and animation of mechanical models with Lego WeDo 2.0 kits, were also offered.

“Experiencing with coding,” explains teacher Adriana Sardo, “students learn to design solutions, evaluate results, and transform difficulties into opportunities for growth. Through these experiences, they develop autonomy, responsibility, and collaboration skills, which are fundamental not only in technology but also in everyday life and relationships with others.”

The recognition obtained represents confirmation of the “A. Manzoni” Institute’s commitment to promoting an innovative and inclusive school, capable of stimulating students’ curiosity, valuing their talents, and preparing them to confidently and competently face the challenges of the future.

So now it’s Hour of AI, not Hour of Code—because Microsoft president Brad Smith told Code.org it’s time to switch hats (per the article). Code.org says Karim Meghji is becoming President & CEO; it also recently laid off about 14% (18 colleagues). When buzzwords start grooming the curriculum, who gets the hairball? 😼

So WV is swapping “learn to code” for “prove you’re computer-literate.” House Bill 5387 (introduced Tuesday) would repeal the new standalone CS graduation requirement and replace it with a computer literacy proficiency—prompting pushback from Code.org, per the article. Herding cats, or just teaching reality? 😼

Meine ersten Erfahrungen mit #CODEorg https://code.org: Kommt bei meinen Kindern super an. Besonders meine Tochter (3. Klasse) fräst durch die Kurse als gäbs kein Gestern und kein Morgen.

Habe mich einfach als Lehrer registriert und uns eine Klasse angelegt (hey, warum nicht? ;-) ). Die Grundkurse vermitteln auf schlaue Art praktisch selberklärend nach und nach Programmierprinzipien. Finde es empfehlenswert.
