School’s out, but online learning, whilst a staple of the modern educational environment, has rocketed over recent weeks and there’s freebies out there for the taking across nearly every school subject!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even PE (thanks Joe Wicks!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAP, via their openSAP platform (free registration required) is usually the place for SAP professionals to pick up new skills but also hosts a number of community courses – including one for kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get Coding with Snap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get Coding with Snap is designed to give children an introduction into the wonderful world of computer science via a friend, block-based, open-source programming language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound complicated? Step aside parents, the kids are excited now – and they’ll get the hang of it in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course is offered for free and in English, German and French. If they fancy a challenge, and brushing up on their MFL at the same time then they could always take the course in a language other than their mother tongue! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can follow along with the course from Wednesday (April 1st – no Aprils Fool, I promise you!) and will remain open right through until June 30th, when hopefully things are looking a little better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an on-demand course, you can learn when it suits you – so feel free to schedule computer science class at the best time for your family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enrol for ‘Get Coding with Snap!’ now!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Class dismissed! (For now anyway!). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
