Coding Junior

 

For children age 5 to 8 learning basics of analog and digital programming.

For this generation, time in the digital world and the real world are interchangeable. They use the tools of digital media and interactive technology to explore their lives and do normal developmental tasks.

Still, balance is key, especially when kids are young. They need time to move their bodies, use their motor skills and look at faces and nature. Each activity develops different parts of the brain, and they all need to be developed for healthy development.

With this course, children will, through play, entertainment and customized contents and tasks, develop the ability to solve complex problems, cooperate with others, creative, critical and logical thinking, algorithmic and computer thinking.

At the beginning of the course the children will learn the principals of creating codes, decoding, creating algorithms using symbols and creating games using verbal or written instructions.

In the second half of this course the children will start to use digital programming process in Scratch Junior, an introductory programming language that enables young children to create their own interactive stories and games. Children snap together graphical programming blocks to make characters move, jump, dance, and sing.
