A club built inside the school
Technology should not sit apart from the rest of learning. DotSlash Club Lab brings it into the school, gives it a regular rhythm and allows it to grow with the students. The school provides a computer room, a time slot and an internal coordinator. DotSlash provides mentoring, development boards, robotics kits, resources and pedagogical continuity.
More than learning to code
Coding, robotics, artificial intelligence and animation become languages for solving a problem, shaping an idea, testing a hypothesis and explaining a choice. Every sequence connects one skill to a tangible creation and observable evidence: a prototype, a program, an interactive story, a reasoned decision or an improvement made after testing.
From primary through middle school
The pathways evolve with age and autonomy. Younger learners discover logic, storytelling and creation through ScratchJr and Scratch. They then move into interactive objects, micro:bit, sensors and robotics. In middle school, AI and content creation are approached with the same standard: understand the tool, verify what it produces and remain responsible for what is published.
Projects connected to the wider world
The program builds on DotSlash AUPTIMISME’s experience as a Raspberry Pi Foundation Global Code Club Partner, the Code Club resources and the energy of Coolest Projects. Depending on their age, project and each program’s calendar, learners may also be supported toward international challenges: exploring open data and real-world questions through the NASA International Space Apps Challenge, or forming teams of girls to design an app or artificial intelligence solution for Technovation Girls. The aim is not to collect competitions, but to give a local project a real problem, a deadline and an audience.
Making progress visible
A club should not be measured by the number of hours spent in front of a screen. Each learner builds a project portfolio and a skills passport. The school receives regular progress reports, and every cycle ends with a showcase where learners demonstrate what they built and, more importantly, what they learned to do.
Building with schools
The program can begin with an eight-week pilot before becoming an annual club. We are opening the first collaborations with schools in Greater Tunis and Sousse that want technology to become a lasting, accessible practice rooted in their educational vision. School leaders can introduce their context to DotSlash.tech through the website contact form.
