Teaching Materials Included: PowerPoint Slides and Handouts for Teachers

Didactic Concept

The course series enables a step-by-step introduction to fundamental programming concepts and promotes the development of central competencies such as algorithmic thinking, structuring of processes, and abstraction through functions and classes. Starting with variables and text output, conditions, loops, and functions are systematically introduced and expanded to more complex data structures such as lists and objects. The progression leads from simple program structures to object-oriented concepts and algorithmic solution strategies. Theory and application are continuously linked by practical problem-solving approaches such as navigation and labyrinth navigation.

For teachers, the series offers a structured introduction to central programming concepts with clear competency development. The modular structure supports flexible integration into existing lesson plans and provides transparency regarding the desired learning objectives.

Competency Development

• Development of basic programming competencies through variables, text output, and number processing
• Application of conditional statements using if-, elif- and else-structures
• Use of loops for repetition and structuring of program flows
• Structuring code through functions, parameters, and return values
• Modeling and processing data using lists, objects, and classes

Structure of the series

Programs and Variables

Introduction to Programming with Linus Lag

This module lays the foundation for understanding simple programs through the introduction of variables and text output. Learners connect initial calculations with outputs and develop a basic understanding of data processing as a basis for further program structures.

40 min 🧩 5 Lerneinheiten

Conditional Statements

Learn if-queries with Leo and Linus in exciting programming adventures!

Building on variables, decision-making structures with if-, elif- and else-statements are introduced. Learners apply logical operators and nested conditions to control program flows.

80 min 🧩 8 Lerneinheiten

Loops

Learn nested loops with Leo Loop!

This course extends decision-making logic by introducing repetition structures with while- and for-loops. Through nested loops, more complex workflows are modeled and automated.

30 min 🧩 5 Lerneinheiten

Functions

Learn with Ruby and Bruno how to collect trash and clean up construction sites using functions and recursion!

Program structure is deepened by functions with parameters and return values. Additionally, recursion is introduced as a further concept for modeling recurring workflows.

55 min 🧩 5 Lerneinheiten

Lists

Learn to create, fill and filter lists.

Working with multiple data values is introduced through lists and deepened by iteration and filtering. Learners structure and sort data as preparation for more complex data models.

35 min 🧩 4 Lerneinheiten

Objects and OOP

Building on lists, object-oriented concepts are introduced. Classes, properties, methods, and inheritance enable a structured modeling of more complex program structures.

35 min 🧩 5 Lerneinheiten

Algorithms

Finally, algorithmic solution strategies are applied to practical tasks. Learners combine previously worked out concepts to develop efficient programs.
