Creative Coding – Scratch

Creative Coding – Scratch course consists of four levels and offers 25 engaging projects that introduce young learners to the world of digital art, animation, and game development. Designed for for Year 2 – Year 6, this program caters to both new coders and those with prior coding experience.

Students will embark on an exciting journey to design and develop polished games inspired by such hits like Geometry DashMinecraft PlatformerFlappy Bird, T-Rex Run and many others. Through these projects, coders will delve into essential programming concepts, such as control flow, loops, conditional statements, and event-driven programming, while enhancing their understanding of logic, mathematics, and algorithmic thinking. They will also work with variables to store and manipulate data, create lists for organising information, and build reusable functions to streamline their code.

By the end of the course, students will develop a solid foundation in computational thinking, problem-solving, and debugging strategies, equipping them with the skills to tackle more advanced programming challenges in the future.

Using the intuitive and versatile Scratch platform, students gain access to a powerful online environment with endless opportunities to refine their coding skills, both in class and independently. This course not only fosters creativity but also builds essential technical skills and confidence.
