Coding Enthusiasts in Emmendingen find innovative playmat for coding programming skills
The district media center Emmendingen has introduced a new game mat for children, called the Coding Mat. This innovative learning tool aims to combine playful learning, logical thinking, creativity, and local knowledge in a fun and engaging way.
The Coding Mat, illustrated by Steph Burlefinger, features 24 municipalities, rivers, roads, and various landmarks of Emmendingen. Children can use small, bee-like Blue-Bot robots to program the movement of objects on the Coding Mat, creating their own unique routes and learning the layout of their district.
An audio version of the Coding Mat is planned, providing additional information about the locations on the mat in a child-friendly manner. This version will not change the fact that children can use the robots to program the movement of objects on the mat, but it will offer extra details about the 24 municipalities, rivers, roads, and landmarks of Emmendingen depicted on the Coding Mat.
For example, children can create a program that shows the route from Emmendingen to Endingen, learning about the geography and landmarks along the way. The audio version may also include information about Fasnacht figures, traditional costume wearers, and sports groups featured on the Coding Mat, offering a deeper understanding of Emmendingen's culture and history.
The Coding Mat is available for purchase at 55 euros each, or can be borrowed for free with robots. The availability of the Coding Mat for purchase or borrowing will not be affected by the addition of the audio version.
To find more information about this product, consider visiting the official website or contacting the district media center Emmendingen directly. Additionally, check local education or technology news from the Emmendingen region, as such projects are often featured there.

The Coding Mat is an exciting new addition to Emmendingen's educational resources, providing children with a fun and interactive way to learn about their district while developing important skills in programming and logical thinking.
This interactive Coding Mat, a novel learning tool from the district media center Emmendingen, catalyzes a unique blend of playful education, technology, and local knowledge. Children can use the robot bees to program movements on the mat, immersing themselves in Emmendingen's geography while learning about its municipalities, rivers, roads, and landmarks, making it an excellent resource for education-and-self-development.
