Authdescriptions
Coding is gaining importance today, where digital learning is developing. While improving the design skills of students with Web2 tools, they should be guided to find daily life problems and solutions. While the relationship between coding and daily life is explained in an entertaining way, students’ hand skills are developed through learning by doing. At the same time, basic level skills related to coding are gained.

There is coding in many of the things we do in our daily life. The problem of daily life will be found by the student and product design and evaluation will be made from waste materials.
Course objectives
To help students find solutions to their daily life problems by using the basic disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) learned in the course.
To reveal the talents of the students.
To direct students to research and production by using the knowledge in STEM fields and to gain problem solving skills.

Final Evaluation
Parent and student evaluation questionnaires are applied.
Student Feedback
An exhibition is held with student products to internalize coding and learning.
Teacher Feedback
A certificate of participation is issued for students.
We participated in the Tiny Hands project with my students from Zonguldak Devrek Çaydeğirmeni Toki Primary School 1/A class. During the project process, my students learned by having fun. He improved himself in many fields. By gaining a different perspective, his horizons expanded. I and my students were happy to take part in this project.
