Introduction to Scratch – coding for kids

About Course
Ready to turn your ideas into interactive games, animations, and stories?
This hands-on beginner course is perfect for kids (ages 8–12) and first-time coders who want to explore the exciting world of programming using Scratch, a fun, drag-and-drop coding platform created by MIT.
In this course, students will learn by doing—building projects from day one! Through colorful blocks and an easy-to-use interface, young learners will grasp key coding concepts like loops, events, conditionals, variables, and more—without needing to type a single line of code.
Each module introduces new skills through creative challenges that encourage problem-solving, logical thinking, and digital storytelling. By the end of the course, students will not only understand how coding works but will also have built their own games, stories, and animations to share with friends and family.
Whether your child dreams of making video games, telling animated stories, or just wants to understand how technology works, this course is the perfect way to get started!
