This 24-session course introduces young learners to the world of coding using block-based platforms like Scratch or Code.org. Through interactive lessons and hands-on projects, students learn the basics of motion, events, loops, variables, and game logic. Designed for ages 7–12, the course fosters computational thinking and creativity, ending with a student-led capstone game or animation.

Key Benefits:

Learn programming fundamentals in a visual, interactive way
Build games, stories, and animations with confidence
Develop logic, sequencing, and problem-solving skills
Encourages creativity and design thinking
Concludes with a capstone project and live presentation
