First steps in Computer Science

这个项目将为一年级学生开发友好和吸引人的图形触摸屏软件，向他们介绍计算机编程的世界。该软件的目的是介绍基本的编程概念，伴随着越来越复杂的编程挑战，在他们开始进入计算机科学世界的旅程时，将这些新知识嵌入其中。该软件将在幕后收集学生如何应对挑战的数据，并向教师提供快速、易于理解、量身定制的报告，显示计算机科学国家课程中哪些关键学习目标已经实现，哪些重要概念正在形成误解。报告的目的是支持学习，并使从一年级以上的孩子有效和有趣的编程教学。目前在该领域的世界领先的研究将告知设计以及与专家研究人员和关键阶段1教师的讨论，以确保学生对他们的计算机科学教育有最好的介绍，教师在实施新的计算机科学课程时得到支持。

This project will develop friendly and engaging graphical touch screen software for Year 1 pupils to introduce them to the world of computer programming. The aim of the software is to introduce basic programming concepts accompanied by increasingly complex programming challenges to embed this new knowledge as they begin their journey into the world of computer science. The software will collect data behind the scenes on how the pupils interact with the challenges and provide quick and easy-to-understand, individually tailored reports to teachers showing where key learning objectives from the computer science national curriculum have been achieved or misconceptions about important concepts are developing. The aim of the reports is to support learning and enable the effective and fun teaching of programming to children from Year 1 upwards. Current world leading research in the field will inform the design along with discussions with expert researchers and Key Stage 1 teachers to ensure that the pupils are given the best possible introduction to their computer science education and that teachers are supported in implementing the new computer science curriculum.
