Course Description

Join our Scratch Beginner online coding courses for kids. The Beginner course consists of four levels (10 lessons per level) and 25 projects. The main goal of the course is to ensure students understand the fundamentals of coding. Students create simple video games such as Pong, Breakout, Slither.io, Fruit Ninja and develop simple animations and cartoons. Using block-based coding in Scratch developed by MIT Media Lab students learn the fundamentals of computer science concepts and coding terminology such as loops, conditionals and variables. Students are closely guided through the creation of their program and are encouraged to work independently. Students use an online programming environment, with endless access to online study materials, allowing them to advance their coding skills outside their virtual classroom.

Course Outcomes

By the end of the Beginner online coding course, students should have a solid understanding of the following coding concepts: loops, conditionals and variables, and be able to code simple software projects by themselves. All students will undergo a formal assessment and parents will receive individual reports outlining the achievements and progress of their child.

Online Coding
Program Overview

 

Our online coding courses are designed for kids who prefer to learn computer science and coding from home. We focus on quality continued learning and have developed a unique learning pathway: Beginners > Intermediate Advanced > Pro. Online Coding Classes are taught by CODE4FUN instructors who are professional programmers or computer science students. Our instructors follow the COOE4FUN curriculum that is designed to continually progress the knowledge and skills of our students and spans a four-year period. Each stage is one year long and consists of four levels of student progression. 

Online Coding Requirements

 

Online coding classes run every week across the school term period at a scheduled time where students join a LIVE interactive session. In order to join CODE4FUN online coding class you will need a computer / laptop with a stable Internet connection.
Upon your registration, you will receive a User Guide with step-by-step instructions on how to join and prepare your child for the session. We ask that you help your child, especially Beginners students, to join their first online coding class and get ready for their session.

What our parents have to say about CODE4FUN Online Coding Courses

“My son has been having a great success learning coding online with CODE4FUN. He says that everything is very smoothly for him and it is, "Unity class as usual". Thank you so much for making such a huge effort to make online coding classes available for the kids. We hope that my son can keep learning from you and your team of teachers throughout this difficult time.”
Sarah, parent
“A big thank you to CODE4FUN for taking the initiative to organise your online coding classes quickly and seamlessly. My son’s first online class went really well, and he enjoyed it very much! I am happy, he has the opportunity to participate in engaging and meaningful learning experience from his home.”
Gabrielle, parent
“Dear CODE4FUN thank you very much for your live online coding classes at our school. It's been such a hectic and stressful time and coding is a real highlight for my son. All his other activities have been cancelled so I'm glad he can continue on with coding.”
Karina, parent
"Thanks so very much for putting your live online coding classes at our school on. It was brilliant!! I had my reservations that my son would sit through it, but he was engaged for the whole hour. That is hard to do right now - I know!! He seemed to be enjoying himself and that’s a wonderful thing. Thanks again. Much appreciated!"
Lisa, parent
