This project-based course introduces children to the world of coding through Scratch, a visual, block-based programming platform designed for young learners. Students begin with simple drag-and-drop logic and progress through a variety of interactive projects - from flying birds and animated stories to games like Pong, Snake, and Rocket Shooter. The course also teaches problem-solving, sequencing, and digital creativity, empowering kids to build their own quizzes, animations, and even a working calculator!
