Live Online Interactive Block Coding - Level 3

This Block Coding course is designed for young beginners to explore the fundamentals of coding using visual programming tools. Kids will learn to create animations, games, and interactive stories while understanding essential coding concepts such as sequencing, loops, conditions, and algorithms. Through platforms like Game Lab and Scratch, students will gain hands-on experience in developing games, working with sprites, detecting collisions, creating transitions, and using coordinates. The course also introduces them to more advanced elements like cloning, hat blocks, and broadcasting commands to build increasingly sophisticated projects.

Key Benefits:

• Hands-on Learning: Experience coding through exciting projects and games.
• Interactive Lessons: Use fun platforms like Game Lab and Scratch, perfect for young learners.
• Visual Understanding: No need to worry about syntax—focus on the logic and flow of coding.
• Creative Development: Build problem-solving skills and creativity through interactive storytelling and game-making.
• Confidence in Coding: Gain a solid foundation in coding, preparing for more advanced programming in the future.

What You'll Learn:

• Conditions and Logic: Understand how to set conditions in coding to control game behavior.
• Collision Detection: Learn how to detect when characters and objects interact.
• Game Development: Create your own games using Game Lab with coding fundamentals.
• Scratch Basics: Get introduced to Scratch, including sprite manipulation, event handling, and using the coordinate system.
• Events, Looks, and Sounds: Explore how to animate characters, control their movements, and add sound effects.
• Algorithms & Sequencing: Learn the importance of order and sequencing in coding through practical examples.
