  • Term-Time Coding 4 Kids (ages 7-10)

    The Coding 4 Kids course, formerly Scratch 4 Kids, is designed for children aged 8-11 who are taking their first steps in coding.

    Attendees are introduced to Scratch, a procedural programming language invented at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for teaching children the concepts of programming using visual blocks as the basic programming constructs. The coding environment within Scratch is both graphical and event-driven. The children manipulate on-screen objects (or sprites) that can be drawn or imported. Commands are grouped into ten categories which include “Motion”, “Sound”, “Pen”, “Data”, “Events”, and “Sensing” to name a few. Language commands are represented as visual blocks that snap together on a ‘coding canvas’ to form syntactically correct, complete programs.

    This course is recommended for children aged 8-11, who are beginners or just starting out learning how to code.
