Program Description
The Junior Game Designer (Scratch) track allows explorers to unleash their creativity and learn basic coding using the Scratch 3.0 platform.
Through different types of game projects, explorers will master game design techniques while learning fundamental computational thinking concepts through visual block-based coding.
This program has a total of 3 levels and is recommended for beginners from 7+ to 10 years old (with basic IT skills to operate a laptop/computer).
Why Scratch 3.0?
Developed by MIT Media Lab, Scratch is the pioneer in creating block coding and has set the gold standard for learning to code!
The software helps teach the core concepts of computational thinking while taking away the pressure of intimidating grammar and syntax. Using the streamlined visual programming blocks, our explorers can learn all about sprites, creating custom costumes, and animating with code.
