Code to Calm

Children breathe, focus and create their own digital calm tool in ScratchJr or Scratch, with a version for each age group.

1st–6th Class

This is an "in school" event where we come to your school and take your students through a 60 minute workshop that brings together coding and mindfulness.

We start with short guided breathing and calming activities that help students notice their feelings and train their focus. Students then create their own digital calm tool. Younger students build a breathing buddy that grows and shrinks with the breath, while older students create a happy-place scene or a personal calm toolkit.

The workshop is designed to build focus, patience and resilience, showing students that mistakes are part of learning and that technology can support their wellbeing.
