Coding for Beginners (Scratch)
A playful first step into coding. Kids drag colourful blocks to make characters move and talk, and build their first games — no typing needed.
Age groups
Ages 6–9
The age when coding is still play. Kids drag colourful blocks instead of typing words, and grasp the single most important idea in programming: the computer does exactly what you tell it, in the order you tell it.

What your child learns
- Sequences: what happens first, and what comes next
- Loops and repetition, without writing it ten times
- Events: when you press this, that happens
- Characters, scenes and animation
- Trying, getting it wrong and fixing it yourself
How they progress, step by step
One semester in this age group — from the first class to Demo Day.
The first block
Kids meet Scratch: pick a character, make it move and make it talk. By the end of the first class there is something moving on screen.
The animated story
Scenes, voices and characters that react to each other. This is where sequences and events come in, learned by seeing the effect immediately.
The first game
Score, lives, winning and losing. Kids build a maze or “catch the objects” game, test it on their group mates, then fix what doesn't work.
Demo Day
The project is presented to the family: what they built, how they thought about it, and which part turned out hardest.

10–12 years old
From blocks to text. Python and Lua, arcade games, Roblox worlds and chatbots that actually work.
