Abstract

This study aims to help students carry out their creative projects by producing media through design-based coding camp while awakening the importance of the ecological environment. The subject of this study is two IT camp programs that produce ecological environment contents and link performances for elementary, middle and high school students. The first case is a camp where about 50 elementary and middle school students near Suncheon City come up with ideas related to the ecological environment for 6 weeks from August 2021. The second case is a program in which five high school students from a public alternative school compose an ecological environment story and produce props for three weeks from September 2021 and then perform a reading performance. As part of the case study, the results of analyzing the students’ outputs, student activity videos, and instructor interviews are as follows. First, elementary and middle school students developed the ability to carry out creative projects through convergence activities such as producing and performing scratch animations and Arduino LEDs after creating a story about ecological environment conservation. Second, high school students generally showed the importance of collaboration and design-based project execution capabilities through ecological environment content production activities and performance experiences. In addition, the characteristics of IT-based convergence camps and implications for the quality improvement of camp programs were presented.
