Our coding classes are suitable for children aged between 4 and 8 years old.
We are excited to announce that this term we are offering our first course using Scratch, the next level up from ScratchJr.
We have three levels of teaching for ScratchJr:
Level SJ-1 - Suitable for beginners; no previous experience in coding or the ScratchJr app
Level SJ-2 - Suitable for children who have some coding experience and know the following:
- How to navigate around the ScratchJr app
- Understand what blue movement blocks and purple appearance blocks do
- Understand the usage of the Green Flag start block (or other start blocks) and the red End blocks
- Use of paint editor to create own/personalised characters
Level SJ-3 - Suitable for children who understand most of the ScratchJr coding blocks and would like inspiration in how to utilise them. Previous experience in the following:
- Yellow start blocks
- Red end blocks
- Blue movement blocks
- Purple appearance blocks
- Orange control blocks
- Parallel scripts
- Creation of own characters using paint editor
** New **
For children looking to start using the Scratch programming language, we are offering a course to transition from ScratchJr to Scratch:
Level S-1 - Suitable for children that can use all of the ScratchJr blocks independently and want to learn Scratch. No previous experience in Scratch is required. The teacher will use ScratchJr to help illustrate the similarities and differences, but students will not need to use it; all coursework will be conducted using Scratch 3.0 (
https://scratch.mit.edu/).
The following classes are available for the spring term:
1) Level SJ-2/3* - English (Saturdays 0900 - 0945 GMT / 1700 - 1745 HKT)
2) Level S-1 - English (Saturdays 1000 - 1050 GMT / 1800 - 1850 HKT)
