Course Overview
In this course, children will embark on a creative journey into the world of coding and computer programming.
They will learn the fundamentals of block-based programming using Scratch, a popular and beginner-friendly platform developed by MIT.
With Scratch’s colorful blocks and drag-and-drop interface, young minds can bring their ideas to life without getting bogged down by complex coding syntax.
Course Objectives:
Introduce Block-Based Programming: Children will learn about block-based programming concepts, understanding how to combine blocks to create scripts that control characters, animations, and interactive projects.
Foster Creativity and Problem-Solving: Through hands-on activities and projects, children will enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills, as they design and build their own interactive stories, games, and animations.
Cultivate Computational Thinking: We will help young learners develop computational thinking skills, breaking down problems into smaller steps and solving them methodically.
