Introducing coding for kids - Scratch
This course introduces your child to the magical world of coding through the best educational coding platform there is - Scratch. They will learn to think creatively, work collaboratively and build the foundations of algorithmic thinking (big speak for thinking logically). By the end of this course, we expect your child to have the confidence to design and build their own unique stories, games and animations.
Choose this course if your child is completely new to the world of computing, or has just started experimenting with Scratch, for e.g has done a term of coding in school or built a basic game on their own.

Intermediate coding classes using Scratch
This course builds on the foundations of ‘Introducing Scratch’ and starts exploring more complex projects where you need to put together multiple concepts, and have various interactions among sprites. By the end of this course, your child will be confident building their own sophisticated games, animations and stories.
Choose this course if your child has completed ‘Introducing Scratch’ with us, or has now been building games and animations using Scratch confidently, for e.g. has done more than a year. of Scratch coding at school, or developed multiple complex games, stories using Scratch.

Start coding using Python
This course introduces your child to a very advanced, yet easy to learn programming languages – Python. It’s safe to say that many apps we use today have been built using Python – Instagram Web, Netflix, YouTube, to name a few! This course teaches the fundamentals of coding, and creates a solid foundation to solve more complex real-life problems.
Choose this course if your child is new to Python or has done a few hours of Python before. Or, they have a good understanding of block-based platforms like Scratch, and would like to start exploring text-based programming languages.
