This intro course teaches absolute or near beginners how to code using the world's most popular coding language for kids - Scratch. Coding is the writing of instructions for a computer to execute. Like any written language, it has expressive power.

Kids will learn the basics of computer programming, which is a key skill in the digital age. They will also apply their skills to a fundamental tool of self-expression - story telling - using digital art and animation. 

This follow-on course introduces kids to a new, and important coding tool - variables. Variables are named spaces in the computer's memory where data is stored. To use variables well, kids will need a strong intuition for how data is stored, processed and updated in a computer. They will apply this new skill in tandem with an important computational thinking skill - pattern recognition.

​

Diving into geometry, number pyramids, Fibonacci sequences, as well as figurate numbers, this course is perfect for kids with some basic coding skills but want to see how powerful code can be if it's combined with math patterns, logical and critical thinking, as well as interactive software.

SC103 and SC104 constitute our advanced series, which are designed to build problem-solving skills and intellectual resilience in the kids. Solving problems can be hard, and we want the kids to build grit, creativity and self-esteem when confronted with challenges.

​

In SC103 we focus on Game Design as a design-thinking framework, as well as a learning journey from being merely the player of a game, to becoming the creator of a wide variety of computer games!

As the pinnacle of our Advanced Series, the builds and concepts in this module have increased complexity in the logic, behaviour and story arcs. While building non-trivial animations and games, students will be suitably challenged to express themselves effectively with their tech skills. 

​​

In SC104 we put all our tools together in an inventor series that pushes the kids to new heights of innovative, and out of the box thinking. Invent new musical instruments, interactive storyboards, Internet-of-Things enabled devices and more!
