Creative Coding | Extension

Course Description

The Creative Coding Extension course consists of four levels and 25 sophisticated software projects, which students develop using block-based programming environment Scratch, developed by MIT Media Lab. During this course students will learn and apply complex computer science concepts such as booleans, recursive algorithms and lists. Students will also be introduced to the basics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and user interface design. Students are closely guided through the creation of their program and are encouraged to work independently. The benefit of this approach is that students understand the subject matter more deeply. Students use an online programming environment, with endless access to online study materials, allowing them to advance their coding skills outside the classroom.

Course Outcomes

By the end of the Creative Coding Extension stage, 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.
