What do students learn?

This programme is part of the LCCL Core Curriculum, and its instructional design is guided by the LCCL Progression Framework. By the end of Coding Fundamentals levels 1, 2 and 3 the learner would have:

1. Attained a mastery of fundamental coding concepts
2. Applied computational problem solving strategies
3. Developed a portfolio of total of 22 - 27 projects including animation, games and apps

Depending on the age of your child, this camp will start the student on either the Coding Fundamentals Junior or level 1 (CFJr or CF1) curriculum.
Each learner is mentored at their own individual pace in a small learning group of no more than 6 students to a teacher.
The camp starts the beginner in fun and engaging projects where they code animations and games. Each lesson is scaffolded and learning objectives of each project build upon earlier ones.
