As part of Nexus International School (Singapore)'s digital learning initiative, Ms. Stephanie, the Primary Digital Learning Coach, introduced Codeapillars to the Nursery Learning Hub. This coincided with the class reading "The Hungry Caterpillar" and aimed to make coding concepts tangible for young students. Using the Codeapillar, children practiced pattern recognition and logical thinking by manipulating its colorful parts to represent "input" instructions that translated into "outputs."
Nursery learners also became robots, following arrow markings on the floor and executing instructions as "outputs." This immersive, play-based experience solidified their understanding of coding. Nexus continues to emphasize technology and innovation, preparing learners for a dynamic digital future.
