Description

This course is a fun and practical introduction to coding with Scratch, a free visual programming platform where learners can create interactive stories, games, and animations by snapping together coding blocks instead of typing complex code. Designed for kids and complete beginners, the course makes programming easy to understand through simple step-by-step lessons and hands-on projects that keep learning creative and enjoyable.

Students will learn how to use the Scratch interface, work with sprites and backgrounds, and apply core programming concepts such as sequence, loops, conditions, variables, sound, movement, and user interaction in their own projects. Along the way, they will build fun animations and games, strengthen logical thinking and problem-solving skills, and develop a strong foundation for future learning in coding and game creation.

Whether you are a child who wants to make games, a beginner starting your coding journey, or a parent or teacher supporting a future coder, this course offers a simple and engaging path into programming. By the end of the course, students will have completed beginner-friendly Scratch projects and gained the confidence to create their own interactive stories, animations, and games independently.

Important: Learners under the age of 18 may use this course only if their parent or legal guardian creates their account, completes the enrollment, and manages their account usage.

Who this course is for:

  • Parents and teachers who want to introduce their kids aged 8+ to programming in a simple, engaging way.
  • Students who enjoy hands-on, project-based learning and want to build their own Scratch projects step by step.
  • Beginners with no prior programming experience who want an easy and visual introduction to coding concepts.
