Kids will learn basic coding concepts and will have fun using their imaginations to play with and design their own playground games. This course combines learning and play in a brilliant way, so students have fun while learning 21st century skills like algorithmic sequencing and coding concepts like motion, repeat, sound, and control blocks. 

They will learn to work through problems with the support of social emotional learning and a focus on Purpose and Self-Management.
