Join our private group class, fostering a collaborative learning environment with our experienced computer science teachers. Tailored for beginners, each session develops higher-order thinking skills like creativity and coding logic. No prior coding experience required; basic computer mouse skills and age-appropriate reading abilities enhance the learning journey. Witness exploration, creation, and learning in a unique and enriching coding experience for your child.

What Learner Will Learn:

Lesson 1 - Train the Knight
- We will learn about animation and loops to help the knight patrol and guard the castle.

Lesson 2 - Mystical Gem
- We will learn click events and will use the when actor clicked code block to create a clicker game.

Lesson 3 - Dodge Game        
- We will learn to use the point towards “mouse pointer” and the “when touching” code blocks to create a dodge game.

Lesson 4 - Forest Maze        
- We will create a fun maze game in which the character’s movements are controlled using the arrow keys.

Lesson 5 - Save the Knight
- We will create a dodge game where the knight must avoid a moving arrow and reach its goal, the castle. 

Lesson 6 - Dragon Flight        
- We will create an infinite runner game in which the dragon must avoid obstacles to survive as long as possible.

Lesson 7 - Hurdle Jump Game        
- We will create a hurdle jump game where the knight moves toward the gem by jumping and avoiding moving obstacles.

Lesson 8 - Circular Pong
- We will create a circle pong game in which we will rotate the circular shield to the left and right on keypress using the when key pressed and turn code blocks.

Lesson 9 - Choppy Ride        
- We will create a game similar to an infinite runner game using the concepts of coordinates and smooth gliding movement to navigate Agent 7's plane.

Lesson 10 - Laser Tag        
- We will learn to send and receive messages between Actors using the 'broadcast' and 'when I recieve' code blocks to help Agent 7 dodge lasers.

Lesson 11 - Run for key
- We will learn to create a complete game where Agent 7 trying to nab the key with Win and Loss game states.

Lesson 12 - Steer Clear
- We will create a Steer Clear game where Agent 7 has to avoid being hit by cans thrown by the thief.

Lesson 13 - Catch the Thief        
- We will create the Catch The Thief game based on the classic whack-a-mole game, in which Agent 7's hands act as a hammer, and he needs to catch the gang member as it comes out of the hole.

Lesson 14 - Trap Escape 1        
- We will create a fun game, Trap Escape 1, in which floor tiles randomly switch colors. Agent 7 must step on these tiles when the safe color is shown to escape the hideout.

Lesson 15 - Trap Escape 2        
- Multilevel games are an important category of game coding. In this game, we took Agent 7 from one level to another to face the next sequence of challenges.

Lesson 16 - Escape Marathon        
- We will create a multilevel game called Escape Marathon. In Level 1, Agent 7 had to jump over obstacles. In Level 2, Agent 7 had to duck and avoid being hit by another obstacle.
