Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Beginner Level
Welcome to our Weekly Coding Club for Young Coders!

In this class, your child will explore the basics of coding using Scratch, a fun and beginner-friendly platform. Each week, we'll embark on a new coding adventure, creating games, animations, and interactive projects.

The sessions are structured with live instruction, hands-on coding, and collaborative sharing.

Basic computer skills are recommended, and participants should have a device with a keyboard and mouse. Additionally, as we'll use Zoom for screen sharing, having that capability will enhance the interactive learning experience.

No prior coding experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm to learn and join us for an engaging journey into the world of coding!
