Scratch coding classes for kids - beginners
This course introduces your child to the magical world of coding through the best educational coding platform there is - Scratch. They will learn to think creatively, work collaboratively and build the foundations of algorithmic thinking (big speak for thinking logically). By the end of this course, we expect your child to have the confidence to design and build their own unique stories, games and animations.
Choose this course if your child is completely new to the world of computing, or has just started experimenting with Scratch, for e.g has done a term of coding in school or built a basic game on their own.

FAQs
Well, as long as your child is at least 8 years old and curious, she/he will thoroughly enjoy learning Scratch.
Scratch is designed and maintained by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab. The MIT Scratch website has a lot of information and resources about Scratch. There's also a page for parents.
Scratch has been designed (at MIT) to teach kids how to code in a fun and interactive way. If your child is just about starting on his/her computing journey, or is a visual learner or if you are in doubt, Scratch is the perfect place to start. Once your child learns Scratch, a text based programming language such as Python is a natural (and great) next step.
We aim for 4 to 6 students per teacher to maximise both learning through collaboration with peers and personal attention from the teacher.
