St Cecilia's Catholic Primary School - Term 1, 2025

Join our Scratch Coding & Game Development course for kids.

The Scratch Coding & Game Development course consists of four levels and features 25 innovative projects, guiding students as they transform their creative ideas into interactive games and applications. Tailored for Year 4 – Year 6 students, this program is perfect for those ready to advance their coding skills and explore more sophisticated computer science concepts.

Students will embark on an exciting journey to design and develop polished games like Putt Putt, Hoop Jump, Scratch-Craft, Flight Simulator, and Tiny Tanks. Through these projects, they will master advanced programming techniques, including nested loops, multi-layered conditional logic, advanced event handling, and custom functions, building on their foundational knowledge to unlock their full coding potential. Along the way, they will work with variables to store and manipulate data, use lists to manage complex datasets, and create reusable procedures to improve efficiency and structure in their code.

Beyond game development, students will explore innovative applications such as Baby Yoda Trainers, 3D Printer Simulators, and Binary Calculators, deepening their understanding of how coding applies to real-world problem-solving and advanced computational thinking.

By the end of the course, students will have developed a strong foundation in algorithmic design, debugging, and logical reasoning, along with the confidence to tackle more complex coding challenges.

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 empowers them to create professional-grade games and applications but also nurtures innovation, critical thinking, and technical expertise.
