Class Experience:
ScratchJr is a playful way for young kids to start their coding journey!
In this fun and interactive course, learners will use colorful coding blocks to create characters, make them move, dance, and tell stories.

Each 55-minute session includes:
- A short story or theme to inspire creativity
- Live demonstrations and step-by-step instructions
- Build-along time where kids create their own project
- Fun sharing time at the end to show what they made!

What will be taught?
- What coding is and why it’s important
- How to use ScratchJr’s blocks (movement, sound, looks, events)
- How to create a simple animation or mini-game
- Basics of problem-solving and debugging

Teaching Style:
- Friendly and playful tone
- Hands-on learning with lots of practice
- Encouragement and positive reinforcement
- Short explanations and longer creation time to maximize fun

Learner Interaction:
- Kids will code along live with the instructor.
- Regular "Show & Tell" moments for students to share their screens (optional).
- Opportunities for students to ask questions and get help during the session.

Learning Goals

Understand basic coding concepts like sequencing and events
Develop creativity by designing stories, games, and animations.

Other Details

Learning Needs
This course is perfect for young learners with ADHD, ASD, or Dyslexia. Visual and block-based programming supports non-readers and early readers. Short, interactive tasks to maintain focus.
Parental Guidance
Device Setup: Learners will need a tablet (iPad or Android) with the free ScratchJr app installed before the first class. First Session Support: Parental assistance may be needed during the first class to help learners navigate basic functions (opening the app, starting a project). Ongoing Help: After the first session, learners are usually able to work independently, but young children might occasionally need help if they accidentally close the app or experience technical issues.
Pre-Requisites
No coding experience needed! Basic ability to use a tablet (dragging and tapping) is helpful.

I am an experienced coding teacher specializing in introducing young children to computer science through visual programming tools like ScratchJr and Scratch.
As a teacher at an international online school (Popskool), I have helped hundreds of young learners build their first games, stories, and animations.
With years of experience working with ages 5–10 across the USA, UK, UAE, and India, I use creative, simple explanations and lots of hands-on practice to make sure kids feel proud and excited about coding!
