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.

该项目将为一年级学生开发友好和引人入胜的图形触摸屏软件，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，伴随着日益复杂的编程挑战，以嵌入这些新知识，因为他们开始他们的旅程进入计算机科学的世界。该软件将收集学生如何与挑战互动的幕后数据，并向教师提供快速，易于理解，个性化的报告，显示计算机科学国家课程的关键学习目标已经实现或对重要概念的误解正在发展。这些报告的目的是支持学习，并使一年级以上的儿童能够有效和有趣地教授编程。当前世界领先的研究领域将告知设计沿着与专家研究人员和关键阶段1教师的讨论，以确保学生得到最好的介绍他们的计算机科学教育和教师在实施新的计算机科学课程的支持。
