The Directorate for Digital Literacy and Transversal Skills in collaboration with St Margaret College embarked on the Family Coding Project which was organised for the first time in Maltese schools.  The concept of the Family Coding programme, which focused on the creative use of the school tablet as part of the One Tablet per Child initiative, is to invite parents/guardians together with their children who are in Years 4, 5 and 6, to discuss how these can be used in computational thinking processes.  In these sessions, parents/guardians and their children had to collaborate together to plan and create a digital story from scratch and availed themselves of a spherical robot to engage in problem solving activities. Unplugged activities were also carried out to acquaint parents/guardians and children with the aforementioned thinking processes.  During November and December 2018, 6 sessions were held in the evenings catering for 60 families.
