Make It Happen Club

About

Make It Happen Club (SCIO) is a charity with the aim to inspire childrens digital learning! We run an innovative and exciting App Design competition for entire Primary Schools across Scotland. Here is our story...

2018

Our Humble Beginnings

An idea to inspire childrens digital learning started with 4 schools in the Glasgow area reaching 2000 children with our Space Unicorn Maths.
March 2019

10,000 children and counting!

Our volunteers took Make It Happen to 16 schools and 10,000 pupils! Using our low tech paper competition entries and Thunkable to build winning apps with the pupils inspired us as much as the children!
April 2019

1,500+ app installs around the world!

Our winning apps have been installed across the Globe from China to the USA to the Republic of Congo to Argentina and Vietnam!
April 25th 2019

A Charity is Born

Skills	Resources
Primary 1
Classifying objects Identifying computing devices (hidden examples e.g. automatic doors) Following directional instructions Designing a simple sequence of directional instructions Identifying and correcting errors in sets of instructions (de-bug).	Grid mats Direction cards Beebots Activ Inspire Kodable
The children will be introduced to the concept of programming through several unplugged activities. This will begin with identifying steps and patterns in everyday processes. Pupils should be able to identify what will happen if steps within a process change or are missing. Pupils will then be introduced to directional instructions through a variety of unplugged, practical activities, games on Activ Inspire, Beebots and a bee-bot website. https://www.bee-bot.us/emu/beebot.html The primary focus will be to ensure children have a firm understanding of directional signs and instructions (forward, back, left and right). Finally, children will be able to progress onto the first stage of the Kodable website “Smeeborg - Sequence Sector”. This will allow them to apply their knowledge of programming by creating a sequence of directional instructions.
Primary 2
Skills	Resources
Constructing simple sequences Conditioning Loops Functions	Kodable
The children will be introduced to coding on a computer program. Children will be given a class code to access Kodable resources. They will begin by sequencing steps in a process. The concept of conditioning will then be introduced in which the children have to alter a simple sequence. The children will then be briefly introduced to loops and functions. Children will then create their own maze in the “create” section of Kodable.
Primary 3
Skills	Resources
Create simple sequences Make decisions based on logical thinking including If, AND, OR and NOT Demonstrates an understanding of the meaning of individual instructions when using a visual programming language. Constructs a sequence of instructions to solve a task explaining the expected output from each step. Identified when a program does not do what’s intended and can correct errors/ bugs.	Code.org Course A (4-7 years/B (5-8) https://code.org/student/elementary https://codeclubprojects.org/en-GB/scratch/
Children will be introduced to coding through a series of lessons on ‘code.org’. Some lessons are ‘unplugged’ and therefore teach the concept without being on the computer. Each lesson focuses on a particular skill and increases in difficulty as you work through the lessons More able pupils may move onto to use ‘Scratch’ learning basic skills using the Scratch Card lessons (see link). Then they can complete Projects 1 - 3 on the ‘Code Club’ website (link shown in resources column).
Primary 4
Skills	Resources
Writing simple programs Animations Making a game	Scratch
Children will be introduced to Scratch. They will begin with writing a simple program and progress onto adding background and sounds, telling a story, making animating and moving their own sprite and making a game. Following this children will reinforce their learning through Scratch Projects.
Primary 5
Skills	Resources
Making simple quizzes Making games	Scratch https://codeclubprojects.org/en-GB/scratch/

CSS (Cascade Styling Sheets) is responsible for the design or style of the website, including the layout, visual effects and background color. Writing HTML Writing CSS Children will learn about HTML lists and CSS colours. Children are introduced to CSS classes. They use multiple CSS classes to style text and also learn how to use background images and free Google fonts in their projects. Children are introduced to hyperlinks and embedding trinkets and Scratch projects within a webpage. Children will be introduced to linear and radial gradients in CSS. They will also learn more about borders and positioning. Children will to learn how to animate a simple scene using CSS. They will use the CSS @keyframes rule to animate various properties of images and divs. Children are introduced to multiple linked web pages in the same project each with their own CSS file. Children will learn how to create a two-column layout. They will also recap lots of the HTML & CSS that they have learned in other projects. They will also learn how to use HTML tables to create a grid of pixels.
