Programming with the elephant (WDR)

2022 | Special Award for Preschool & Kindergarten | TOMMInierte

Here’s what media educators have to say:
Now thefamous blue elephant is also showing young children how “if-then” connections work. The Elephant app includes a hidden game where children first have to choose the difficulty level. Then, depending on the selected difficulty, they’re tasked with applying various effects to the elephant and a rabbit in a landscape. The learning takeaway is: When you enter that, the characters do that—a fundamental principle of programming. Simple and well-designed for preschoolers.
