Course information
Coding, just like any other language, is learned best at a young
age. There are many ways to teach programming, however, the main
challenge is how to explain abstract mathematical concepts like
axis, parameters and variables to young children.
Scratch, a programming language that was developed by MIT, rises
to the challenge. It uses colorful animation to help illustrate
difficult concepts and opens a door to the wonderful world of
code.
This introductory course invites kids to create games, videos and
stories through Scratch, while learning the foundations of coding
so there’s no need for previous experience.
Kids will get to know the Scratch learning environment, its
friendly animated characters and cool graphic design tools. They
will create fun games by dragging and dropping built-in blocks of
code, which will help them implement the internal logic and
structure of programming.
