Description

Turn your child’s love of games into coding skills!This beginner-friendly course teaches kids in 4th grade and up how to code using Scratch, the world’s most popular block-based programming language. Through fun, hands-on projects, students will design and build their very own interactive games—learning the basics of programming along the way.Scratch makes it easy for kids to see results fast, while building confidence in problem-solving, creativity, and logic.By the end of this course, students will:Understand the fundamentals of programming (loops, variables, conditionals, events)Build interactive games and animations step-by-stepLearn debugging and problem-solving skillsGain confidence to start creating their own coding projectsHave a solid foundation to explore more advanced coding in the futureWho this course is for:Kids in grades 4+ (ages ~9–Adult)Parents who want to give their kids a fun and educational start in codingTeachers or homeschoolers looking for a structured Scratch curriculumComplete beginners—no prior coding experience neededWhy Scratch?Scratch is trusted by educators around the world and used in millions of classrooms. It uses colorful drag-and-drop blocks instead of complex code, so kids can focus on creativity and logic while still learning the foundations of computer science.With each lesson, students create real games they can play and share, keeping learning exciting and motivating.Those under 18 may use this course only if a parent or guardian opens their account, handles any enrollments, and manages their account usage.
