Coding courses for kids

Introduction to the fundamental concepts of programming, mathematical calculation and systematic reasoning. Using Scratch, a block programme, we teach computational thinking to solve complex problems strategically. Request information
Duration: 16 hours
Classroom equipment: a projector and a computer for each participant.

Course objectives

In this course, we aim to introduce children to the fundamentals of programming, providing them with a solid foundation of knowledge and skills. Using the block programme Scratch, we guide them in understanding key concepts, from computational thinking to developing strategies for solving complex problems. Starting with an introduction to Scratch, we walk them through the process of creating their first interactive stories, using the programming blocks to bring engaging narratives to life. We then guide them through the design and development of their first video games, using both basic and advanced Scratch blocks. We also deepen their creative skills by extending game designs with the innovative use of Makey Makey. Finally, we encourage them to express their creativity through the design and realisation of a personal project. This course not only aims to develop technical coding skills, but also to promote problem solving, creativity and critical thinking skills.
