ScratchJr
Ages 7-8 | Stage 1
Visual block coding for younger starters to build stories and animations without typing.
Course Overview
As the perfect introductory staging ground for a student's coding journey, ScratchJr familiarizes students with a friendly, easy-to-use interface, allowing them to bring their own interactive stories and animations to life easily.
In this foundational stage, our students explore computational concepts while keeping the environment simplee, establishing a core technical muscle memory before they ever step into more complex interfaces.
This builds early confidence, paving the way for a smooth transition into more advanced programming with Scratch and eventually, Python.
