This course is designed for parents who want to re-direct their child’s natural enthusiasm for playing games into creating games and coding. It has has been created specifically with young learners in mind and is suitable for 7-12 year olds.
Every lesson has been carefully scripted to be clear and unambiguous. Our instructor is a qualified and experienced teacher who speaks clearly and precisely, leading the learner through every detail of the activity. Each step is explained and demonstrated.
As the lessons progress, your child will build familiarity with Scratch, follow game making exercises, build a complete game and acquire the skills and knowledge required to build their own games. In so doing they will begin to understand the fundamental transferable concepts of coding, and improve their creative, math and computational thinking skills.
Technology advances at a formidable rate and we know how important it is for our children to not only keep abreast of new developments, but to also have a firm grasp of underlying computing concepts.
Our activities not only teach essential underlying technical knowledge and skills such as computing concepts, coding, file types, and the different types of media, but also utilise creative games, image and music making exercises and projects that inspire and motivate children.
Creativity is about questioning, problem solving, self expression and working with others, and these attributes are valued by employers, lead to personal self-fulfilment and build confidence in young learners. And it can be a lot of fun too.
Learn to program, create games, have fun in Scratch! For parents and teachers of future coders
