Join our first online Scratch coding class for kids. Students meet for 1 hour per week for 8 weeks
Students program their own interactive animations, creative stories, musical based projects, interactive drawing apps, Among Us & Minecraft related projects, and dynamic video games such as Maze & Pong using the block-based programming language developed by MIT.
Why Choose Us?
- 100% Live Instruction – we actively teach your child the entire time - students do not watch pre recorded videos…
- 25+ years of combined experience – your child is paired with expert certified computer science instructors
- Small class sizes – your child has fewer distractions. Our focus is your child.
- Personalization – lessons tailored for your child’s individual learning style.
- Flexible scheduling – learning happens when it’s most convenient for you.
- Resources – we’ve created the most effective curriculum and use the latest Scratch version
Students apply programming concepts such as: loops, data validation, variables, and cloning. Our small class sizes allow instructors to closely guide students and also keep them appropriately challenged. Even children that have been previously exposed to Scratch elsewhere benefit from enrolling in our Scratch Level 1 class since our content is more comprehensive than most other introductory Scratch courses found elsewhere. As a result, students develop a stronger and deeper foundation, and will feel more comfortable and confident coding more complex projects later on.
This class also helps prepare students for our more advanced Scratch Level 2 class in which they create more complex video games and higher level interactive projects.
