Emil is a unique method of teaching computing in schools in years 1-5 – from early primary years, for every learner in the class, for the joy of exploring, creating, and learning. Based on our educational research and many years of working with teachers and pupils in several countries, it implements the idea of modern computing education as a complex and systematic learning process in regular and formal classes in primary schools. Emil is amusing but not just for a while. Pupils gradually learn all the important constructs of programming in a playful way.
Emil draws on international experience in teaching computing and programming, grounded in recent learning theories. At the same time, it also meets the requirements of the new and developing national curricula. Instead of merely teaching how to program, Emil brings into the classroom exploration, algorithmic and mathematical thinking development, problem solving, and collaboration between subjects. It teaches pupils to live and work responsibly in a digital environment, to learn about the world and how to change it. Computing with Emil offers an evidence-based complex method for several primary years, comprising its own pedagogy, software programming environments, workbooks for pupils, teacher materials, and professional development content.
