All Coding Courses for Kids. Term 4, 2023

The main goal of this course is to make sure students are confident with using block-based coding language Scratch  and are able co code sophisticated apps, games and animations themselves. Students create their own versions of Geometry Dash, Pac-man, Space Invaders, Asteroids, code an analogue clock, quiz games and interactive drawing apps. Students learn and apply computer science concepts such as functions, nested loops, recursive algorithms, booleans and lists. Students also learn the basics of User Interface design and data validation. Students use an online programming environment with endless access to online study materials, allowing them to advance their coding skills outside their classroom.

Java and Python courses are recommended for high school students with no prior coding experience, or to those primary school students who completed our Beginner and Intermediate stages and are keen to learn professional text-based coding languages.

The Intro to Java course is designed for one year and consists of four levels (10 lessons per level) and 27 software projects. Students learn the basics of text-based coding using Processing, a simplified version of Java. Students develop a variety of 2D and 3D digital art animations, apps and games. This course covers the key computer science concepts such as functions, loops, if statements, variables, lists, booleans, recursive algorithms, Object Oriented Programming, and how these concepts are used in Java. Students use an online programming environment Openprocessing.org, allowing them to advance their coding skills outside their classroom.

The Intro to Python course is also designed for one year and consists of four levels (10 lessons per level) and 20 software projects. Throughout this course students learn the basics of Python and develop a variety of logic based games, encryption algorithms, fractal patterns and mathematically inspired apps using an online programming environment Trinket.io.

Intro to Unity 3D & C# coding course introduce students to the world of 3D software development. Students learn how to use Unity 3D engine and C# programming language to create realistic 3D games, simulators and experiences.  Students explore the fundamentals of Unity by designing projects such as Flight Simulator, Space Shooter, 3D Mario, and 3D Maze. Students learn how to implement key game features such as input, collision, physics, and mouse interaction. In this course we cover important concepts including transformation, vectors, rigid bodies, prefabs, and design practices. Students will have endless access to online study materials, allowing them to advance their coding skills outside their classroom.

The Java Pro course consists of four levels (10 lessons per level) and 22 projects. Students advance their skills in text-based coding using Processing, a visual-based implementation of Java. Students learn how to create procedural islands, 3D photos, physics engines and tic-tac-toe games through a series of learner projects where students become familiar with high-level concepts. Knowledge of concepts including pixel processing, procedural generation, and collision detection are synthesised in the 4 major projects at the end of each level.  Students use an online programming environment with endless access to online study materials, allowing them to advance their coding skills outside their classroom.
