Buy on AmazonAbout the book
Coding e pensiero computazionale nella scuola dell'infanzia is my second book, dedicated entirely to early childhood education. A structured pathway for educators, teachers and parents who want to introduce computational thinking to younger children without screens or devices.
Inside you'll find unplugged coding activities, movement games, printable worksheets and paths that follow the developmental stages of children 3-6. Every activity is coherent with the Italian PNSD framework and with the national guidelines for preschool education.
Available on Amazon in paperback (Italian language).
