Coding on Scratch
$225/camp
5 days • 90 minutes per day
Harness the endless possibilities of your young learner’s imagination. In each week-long camp, your child will breathe life into animations, games & applications, for a fun learning experience. Developed by MIT, Scratch is a block-based coding platform ideal for introducing programming concepts. It’s highly visual interface enables our learners to focus on problem-solving, patterns and logic.
Your Child Will Learn
Coding on Scratch
- Introduces learners to Scratch and its possibilities and opens the door to an exciting world of technology.
- Builds their coding principles and computational thinking
- Simulates advanced programming concepts in an easy-to-understand visual environment with drag-and-drop functionality
- Boosts confidence in young learners
Camp 1 - Scratch Coder
Core Learning
- Your child will set up their Scratch account and join an online community of 50 million fellow students.
- Students get exposure to real-world applications and learn to create a simple version of a chatbot.
- As the week progresses, they will become familiar with Scratch’s potential and learn basic commands including Loops, Conditionals and Variables to get busy creating!
Prerequisites: This is a beginner level camp with no experience necessary.
Camp 2 - Scratch Logic Wizard
Core Learning
- Our learners use their competencies and skills as a springboard to more complex projects
- Students explore the use of concepts such as Sensing, Events and Motion to create exciting games and applications
