Description

Whether you're a parent looking for a good starting place for your kids to get into computer programming, a teacher looking for a great way to introduce software development to a technology class, or just a curious person looking to learn more about how programming actually works, this course is for you.

This course focuses on what's referred to as "block-based programming", where the developer can drag and drop functions together to create scripts that complete tasks, whether they be simple or complex. This course starts out by teaching the universal basics about computer programming and then increases difficulty, contributing to a cumulative knowledge while reinforcing previously learned material through interactive activities.

Not only does this course carry you from beginner to expert in block-based programming, but it gives you a strong boost for whichever direction you want to go after taking the course, if you want to continue your programming career. Whether you're looking to get into advanced app development, game development, or web development, this course equips you with the universal concepts, vocabulary, and computer logic you'll need to know.

Although this course ramps up to expert levels, it is designed to be as comprehensive, interactive, and reinforcing as possible making it suitable for all ages and abilities. Every core concept presented will be thoroughly explained, and the course provides recommendations for external resources after completion for where to go based on your personal interests.

Here's what you can get from this course:

Lifetime access to 20 on-demand, video lectures that can be streamed anywhere, anytime.
Hours worth of videos, interactive activities, and hands-on projects.
A strong programming vocabulary and strong grasp of many universal software development concepts.
Fluency in Scratch 3.0 and expert-level knowledge in block-based programming
Ability in graphic design, 2D/3D game development, and more.

Who this course is for:

Beginner developers
Kids interested in computer programming
Anyone interested in Scratch and block-based programming
People looking for a solid starting point in learning about software development
Students
Teachers
Club Organizers
After-school activity managers
