About this course

Is your child curious about how games and animations are made? This course provides a fun and engaging entry point into the world of programming, turning their curiosity into a creative skill. Upon completion, your child will have a solid grasp of fundamental programming principles. They will be able to confidently use the Scratch platform to design and build their own simple, interactive projects, including stories, games, and animations, turning their imagination into reality. What you'll learn: - Understand core programming concepts like sequences, loops, conditionals, and variables. - Learn to navigate the Scratch interface and use its various code blocks to build scripts. - Create characters (sprites) and make them move, talk, and interact with each other. - Build simple, complete projects like an interactive story and a basic chase game. - Practice problem-solving and logical thinking by debugging and improving your creations. - Design custom backdrops and add sounds to bring your projects to life. The course starts with the absolute basics of what programming is and how to get started with Scratch. You'll then progress through hands-on exercises to build foundational skills before combining them to create complete, shareable projects. This course is designed for absolute beginners, specifically children aged 8 and older. No prior coding experience is necessary, just a curious mind and a desire to create.
