Workshop Description

Sign your kids up for an entire day of programming fun!

Kids today live, learn and play in a digital world. So it’s never too early for them to acquire the programming and thinking skills that would transform them from passive consumers of technology to creators and inventors.

10am - 12pm Intro to Programming using Code.org

This 2-hour workshop will introduce participants to the basics of programming and elementary computational thinking. Participants will play interactive games and program the movement of their characters by recognising sequential logic and patterns. At the end of this course, participants will understand the fundamental concepts of coding and will be able to independently manoeuvre their game characters to complete missions by programming them to complete various tasks.

12pm -1pm Lunch

1pm - 4pm Saturday Kids Explorers with Google

After learning programming fundamentals, students will apply their new found programming skills to 4 different mini-projects & explore what a’lil creativity & programming skills can do. Students will be exposed to a variety of activities that teach both coding basics & how to use code to design.

Activity A - Design a Character

Our intrepid explorers will begin first with designing their very own character, sketch it & then bring their characters to life on computers.

Activity B - Animate a Sprite

With the designed characters, they will add sounds, costumes, movement to their characters using Scratch, a programming language built specifically for kids.

Activity C - Make Generative Art

Explorers use Scratch to programatically create stunning pieces of art to impress & delight their family & friends.

Activity D - Make a GIF

Explorers will create their very own endlessly looping GIF that they can share with their friends.
