All You Need to Know

Bring your love of science to life with code! This course inspires curiosity in science topics, exposes kids to the possibilities of code, and then ties both together as kids create basic projects with Scratch to visualise and process their learnings.

Here’s an example of what this looks like:

Watch and explore an interactive animation to learn about plastic pollution and marine life.

Research some facts, discuss with the class and do a quiz to set the context for the project.

Code this underwater game.

Use your arrow keys to control the diver. Collect the plastic trash and celebrate the increase in the marine life!

Learn about an Ocean Cleanup invention to clean the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, or an app where people can track pollution.

Build on your project using these new ideas.

Sounds awesome? This is just the start of an adventure at the intersection of coding and science!

Look forward to taking on more challenges like creating a choose-your-own adventure game inspired by the natural migration of birds, code up a solar energy simulator in scratch, and more.

Synergising basic concepts in science and beginner-friendly applications in code, in each class, kids process the content they’ve learned by building mini projects in block-based language Scratch, culminating in a final project at the end of term that expresses what they’ve learned.

In the process, kids develop creativity, curiosity, and a growth mindset, and in subsequent modules learn to use planning and design thinking to prototype solutions to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Science and coding outcomes are aligned to K12 Standards (K12 CS Framework, Next Generation Science Standards, Singapore MOE Science Syllabus, National Curriculum in England Science Programme).
