This case study gives theoretical and practical evidence and insights into the value of constructionism-based coding activities. Eye-tracking data has been used to analyse children's learning process while coding and to identify any age-related differences in their task-based behaviour. The workshop implemented a coding activity with 12 children attending Grade 3 to Grade 9. Mobile eye trackers have been used to collect the student’s gaze and timing. Also, semi-structured questionnaires have been examined where students reflected on their approaches and experiences. To verify if the creative coding approach was successfully implemented, the coded game designs and crafted controllers were analysed and evaluated. Coding platforms, such as Scratch, in collaboration with the construction kit Makey Makey provide innovative ways for young students to learn about coding and design while also creating interactive and authentic worlds fostering a hands-on experience. It is confirmed that the creative coding workshop was very beneficial and made coding more attractive to students. Further, findings indicate that students follow a specific routine when conducting coding activities in Scratch. Depending on gender, developmental stages and age groups, it is important to include an emphasis on aesthetics, functionality and a collaborative environment that fosters the learning process and enhances computational thinking. Technology will only become more present in students' lives. Educational institutions must encourage students to use resources such as Scratch at a young age to promote curiosity, build fundamental coding skills, and expand their minds in creative ways. Students can receive quick feedback on their problem-solving attempts and identify patterns and trends. Computational thinking is a skill that is closely related to the curriculum and has an impact on everyday life. Young people should challenge conventions and experiment to improve their technological understanding and flexibility, while also approaching the design of everyday objects more critically.
