Coding a Game on Scratch

Does your child enjoy technology, creativity, and problem-solving? In this hands-on coding session, participants will explore the fundamentals of programming using Scratch, a beginner-friendly coding platform developed by MIT. Children will learn key coding concepts while designing and building their own interactive video game. Through guided activities and creative experimentation, participants will discover how coding can be used to bring ideas to life in a fun and engaging environment.


Learning Outcomes:
• Use Scratch to introduce building a simple interactive video game
• Apply foundational coding concepts such as sequencing, loops, and conditionals

Participants: Children aged 8 - 13 years old

Note: Please sign up for each of the four sessions for your child(ren) to be able to attend all four unique sessions in this program series.
