Scratch Beginner coding course is ideal for Primary school students from Grade 2 to Grade 6 with no coding experience. Great place to start learning about coding.
Join our Scratch Beginner coding course for kids. This is an introductory level course and does not require any prior experience. It consists of four levels (10 lessons per level) and 27 software 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 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 classroom.

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 Dash, Minecraft Platformer, Flappy 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.
