This page contains resources and instructional materials for the weebee code project. This project aims to explore how best to teach primary school children to code using the Java Language. The focus is on producing animated stories. Our research has so far involved around 600 primary school children, and around 100 secondary school students and 150 undergraduates. Our most recent project, in partnership with Digikick, involves working with elderly folk in care homes. Schools interested in joining this project are asked to contact me via email: c.price@worc.ac.uk Participating schools will receive free support.
