🌱 1. Collaborative Eco-Code "Coding in Hexadecimal with Eco Heroes".   Our young Eco Heroes took part in an exciting international Code Week activity! 🌍✨ They first explored how coding works through hexadecimal representation and learned how numbers and letters can “speak” in code. Then, they worked together to encode the letter “L” — for our Italian partner team to decode— using both hexadecimal and binary code. After completing their work, the students uploaded their code themselves to our shared digital book, so that their Italian partners could find and decode it! With great curiosity and enthusiasm, the students then received a hexadecimal code from another partner school and joyfully decoded it to reveal its hidden message. Through this fun collaboration, they not only practiced logical thinking and teamwork but also celebrated the spirit of European Code Week and the power of digital creativity! 💚 Take a look at our collaborative book 📖 💡 2.
