In the Baobab room, Inge Vandevyvere, Global Strategic Education Advisor at VVOB, will lead an offline coding session called an “unplugged Scratch exercise.” This interactive session, designed for small groups of about five participants, will allow attendees to explore coding concepts without the need for devices or connectivity. Inge has prepared scratch building blocks for three groups, with each exercise taking approximately 10 minutes.
