Coding & Gaming
Our Coding & Gaming lessons strive to inspire and educate kids with coding skills for the 21st century. Our curriculum engages students with themed challenges using Scratch, Blockly, Python, HTML, Makey-Makey, Micro:bit, Minecraft Education Edition, and Roblox Studio to design and create a range of projects including websites, games, and even artificial intelligence!
Kids love to engage with game-based approaches. Scratch and Blockly provide innovative visual coding languages, making coding digestible and fun. Minecraft Education enables students to program with Scratch or Python within the Minecraft world.
Want to design your own game or website? Interested to create your own Mods in Minecraft? Want to share your 3D game project in Roblox with your friends? Students will use the 4 basic concepts in coding – variables, conditionals, loops, and functions – while having fun exploring new trends in technology.
Coding
Children discover how to solve problems and challenges through coding. They learn the basic fundamentals of designing a program using a game based approach, allowing them to focus on the logic behind the code.
Projects & Challenges
Children learn how to plan and experiment using design techniques in order to creatively solve engaging projects and challenges.
