[ai] Explore!: An Educational Game for Developing Programming Skills and Algorithmic Thinking
We are happy to present an article by V. Mikulić Crnković, M. Holenko Dlab, B. Crnković, I. Traunkar (2024). [ai] Explore!: An Educational Game for Developing Programming Skills and Algorithmic Thinking published in Vol. 18 No. 1 (2024): Proceedings of the 18th European Conference on Games Based Learn, doi: https://doi.org/10.34190/ecgbl.18.1.2866
In this article, we describe [ai] explore game as an educational game and its implementation in Scratch.
[ai] explore game presentation
We presented the SciMaG game [ai] explore at the 18th European Conference on Games Based Learning (https://www.academic-conferences.org/conferences/ecgbl/) held from October 2nd until October 4th, 2024 in Aarhus, Denmark.

Poster presentation on ECM 2024
Mathematics and games workshops
We held a cycle of workshops titled Mathematics and Games for the participants of the program Budi++, CTK Rijeka.
Precisely, we held 5 workshops, from 1.7.2024. until 5.7.2024. and some titles were: Mathematical games and puzzles, Assemble and play sudoku, Sudoku in Scratch, Treasure hunt in the Pi rhythm, and Treasure hunt in the Pi rhythm in Scratch.
The Exhibition, Games and Virtual Reality – Technologies in Math Education
We are happy to present the book chapter by Crnković, B., Mikulić Crnković, V., Traunkar, I. (2024):The Exhibition, Games and Virtual Reality – Technologies in Math Education. In: Volarić, T., Crnokić, B., Vasić, D. (eds) Digital Transformation in Education and Artificial Intelligence Application. MoStart 2024. Communications in Computer and Information Science, vol 2124. Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-62058-4_1.
In the presented work, we described the two variants of the [ai] explore! game, developed within the SciMaG project.
Threshold concepts in mathematics – research
During the last couple of months, we conducted a threshold concept discussion in Rijeka, Croatia.
The aim is to identify threshold concepts in mathematics, informatics, and physics. We organized several meetings with teachers of these subjects, presented the SciMaG project, and discussed the threshold concepts.
