Course Introduction

This beginner-level Scratch programming course is designed to introduce children aged 8–10 to the world of coding using Scratch, a visual block-based programming language developed by MIT. The course fosters computational thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills through fun and engaging projects such as animations, games, and interactive stories.

Divided into two progressive parts:

Scratch A1.1 (Month 1): Introduction to the Scratch interface, movement, loops, and simple interactive animations.
Scratch A1.2 (Month 2): Students apply their skills in game design, storytelling, and creative projects with sound, variables, and conditions.

Course Plane

Program Title: Creative Coding with Scratch
Age Group: 8–10 years
Level: Beginners
Duration: 2 Months (Split into Part 1 – Scratch A1.1 and Part 2 – Scratch A1.2)
Schedule: 3 days per week | 1.5 hours per class

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the Scratch course, students will be able to:

Navigate and use the Scratch interface confidently.
Understand programming concepts such as sequencing, loops, and events.
Create animated stories, dialogues, and basic games.
Use blocks to control sprites, change backgrounds, and trigger actions.
Use basic logic (if-then) and variables in projects.
Add sound effects and visual effects to enhance interactivity.
Collaborate on ideas and problem-solve using code.
Present their final projects and explain how they work.
