Class Experience
As part of the Mentorhood Coding Curriculum, the one-on-one Coding and Game Development in Scratch for Beginners class is designed to provide personalized instruction for individuals who are new to coding and game development using the Scratch programming language. The course will cover the basics of coding concepts and game development principles, and learners will learn how to create interactive games using Scratch. The curriculum includes three levels that build upon each other, with the goal of providing students with a strong foundation in coding and game development: Level 1: In this Level, students will learn the fundamentals of coding and how to use the Scratch programming language. Skills include: Sprites & Motion, Events & Sequencing, Conditionals and loops Level 2: In this level, students will learn how to apply their Scratch programming skills to game development. Skills include: Cloning, Variables and Operators Level 3: In this level, students will build upon their knowledge of Scratch and game development by exploring more advanced coding concept. Skills include: Functions, Nested loops, Arrays & Lists, Game creation (putting it together) Each level includes at least 10 games to enhance the focused skills. By completing all three levels in the Mentorhood Coding Curriculum using Scratch, learners will have a strong foundation in coding and game development principles and will be able to create a variety of projects using Scratch. They will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to continue exploring the world of programming and game development beyond the curriculum. Example of customized weekly plan: Week 1 - Level 1 - Sprites & Motion, building game: Canvas Week 2 - Level 1 - Sprites & Motion, building game: Build the City Week 3 - Level 1 - Events & Sequencing, building game: Announcement Week 4 - Level 1 - Events & Sequencing, building game: Ninja Week 5 - Level 1 - Conditionals, building game: Social Distancing If your learner has experience in scratch, please let us know what skills are already mastered, we will choose the level according to the learner's past experience and current knowledge. ** This class require learners to: - share screen while using zoom - open zoom and browser in the same monitor, using them side by side OR - use two devices, one with zoom and the other one with scratch Parent's help is greatly appreciated if any technical difficulties arise. ** Software & Materials Requirement: - Scratch Account (recommended) - Windows 10 / MAC laptop or desktop

Teacher expertise and credentials
Our mission is to nurture and discover the potential of individuals; we build characters and confidence that help them make life decisions.
About our Visible Thinking Math classes:
In our technology-driven society, Mathematics is undoubtedly essential in education because it is the foundation of all sciences and technology. We believe helping children mastering Mathematical skills will build a solid foundation for their future. We aim to inspire children to become innovators and creative problem solvers so that they can pursue their dreams.
Our Methods:
Students are provided with different visual ways of looking at math including the world-renowned Singapore bar modelling approach. The learning journey begins with the concrete and pictorial stages, followed by the abstract stage to enable them to learn mathematics meaningfully. This approach encourages advanced (higher-order) thinking process, communication of mathematical ideas, and problem-solving.
Our teachers:
We're a group of passionate educators who have Mathematics and/or Science related degrees and passed the Mentorhood Teacher Training which specialized in online teaching and the Singapore Bar Modelling method.
