Course Description

Join our Scratch Beginner coding course for kids at St Mary’s Catholic Primary School . The Scratch Beginner coding 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 and are able to create simple programs themselves. Students create 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 the projects and are encouraged to work independently. Students use an online programming environment, with endless access to study materials, allowing them to advance their coding skills outside their classroom.

Course Outcomes

By the end of the Scratch Beginner 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.

“Dear CODE4FUN thank you very much for your virtual live 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.”
