Alliances for Code Week can be formed throughout the
year, allowing schools, teachers, and students to collaborate on creative
coding projects at any time. This ongoing cooperation strengthens digital
skills, promotes teamwork, and builds a sense of community across Europe. This
activity was organised within the framework of the eTwinning project “Do you
need me? Because I need you!”, which aimed at promoting animal welfare and
responsible pet ownership while developing multiple intelligences and digital
skills. The learners read the code of a picture in pixel art in order to
“break” it and recreate the picture. Every picture revealed a different pet and
the learners had to give clues to their classmates so that they could name
it. Through pixel art the primary school students were introduced to the basic
concepts of coding/decoding in an entertaining and creative way. This enabled
them to develop logical thinking, which constitutes a basic decoding skill,
promote their computational skills and ultimately reinforce their
problem-solving skills.
