Tech Literacy with Purpose

An introduction to coding, mathematics, and technology paired with the beauty of nature, creativity, and outdoor exploration.

Barnsley Fern

The Barnsley Fern is a stunning example of how we can explore coding and mathematics in nature. This fractal can be built through repetitive uses of a mathematical formula.

We can use computers to code these mathematical expressions and the computer can then quickly do these calculations to generate the fern image.

To learn more about this process, check out the Coding in Open Processing Course where you can write code to generate this and many other beautiful graphics.

"It’s not about smart children, it's about happy children who have the confidence and courage to learn. "

Alexandra Eidens

Our family of 5 attended Alyssa's Little Sheep Shop Steam Lab’s Noon Year workshop. Our entire family loved learning more about mathematics and coding while using hands on methods. Some of our favourite highlights were learning about binary code while making bracelets, solving fun family-friendly algebra equations, and using the coding board as a hide and seek game. This workshop was educational, interactive, fun and the entire family learned a lot.
This hands-on, screen-free introduction to math and computer science for young ones is the way of the future and Alyssa is leading us there! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us. We are lucky to have you and can’t wait to join you in another workshop soon.

We love all the products purchased from Little Sheep Shop. We have the number blocks, 100’s board and the custom name/ alphabet washable colouring cloth. My son has been using all of these over the last 2 years. Love the materials used, the style and the learning that comes with these products. I’m planning to purchase the coding board for my son’s JK/SK classroom this year!
