Kids Coding · Ages 6–9

Scratch.

Visual, block-based coding designed for ages 6–9. We build games, animations and stories together, in a small live class. Pattern recognition and sequence — the habits underneath every later programming course — are the real outcome.

Outcomes

What you will be able to do.

By the end of the programme, you will ship real deliverables.

Animation

Make things move.

Sprites, costumes, motion and timing — turn ideas into animations the child controls.

Games

Build a real game.

Score, lives, win/lose conditions, sound effects — a finished game the child can share.

Logic

Think in steps.

Sequence, repetition and decisions — the foundations of every programming language they will ever touch.

Stories

Interactive storytelling.

Branching dialogue, scenes, and characters that respond — coding as a creative tool.

Sharing

Publish to the world.

Each project is published to the Scratch community, with a link the child can show family.

Independence

Learn the habit.

By the end, the child can plan, build and finish a small project without stepping through it line by line.

Curriculum

Sequenced and structured.

Each phase builds on the last. Live instruction with reviewable deliverables.

Week 01–02

First moves.

Sprites, the stage, motion blocks. Simple animations the child can play back and edit.

Week 03–04

Loops and events.

Forever loops, when-clicked events, broadcasts. The first taste of cause and effect in code.

Week 05–06

A simple game.

Conditions, score variables, win/lose states. The first complete, playable game.

Week 07–08

Sound and storytelling.

Sound effects, costumes, dialogue. An interactive storybook with branching choices.

Week 09–10

A bigger game.

Multiple levels, enemies, lives. Debugging as a habit. A second, more ambitious game.

Week 11–12

Capstone project.

The child picks the theme — game, story, or animation — and ships a finished, published project.

Who it is for

You, if one of these fits.

First-time coder

No prior coding.

Most of our Scratch students have never coded. Reading fluency is the only prerequisite.

Curious learner

Asks "how does it work?".

Children who pull things apart and ask how things are built are the right fit for Scratch.

Pre-Python

Bridge to typing.

Children we expect to move into Python in 12–18 months — Scratch is the right warm-up.
