It will enhance the thinking of the child
We will be using algorithmic approach
Once completed with this basic course on Scratch the child will be able to code their own simple games
A complete game will be developed - Code your own super hero
Child will do one simple game by themselves – Balloon Popping Game
Computer Science Topics Covered
• Parallelism: The process of events occurring simultaneously, either independently or interdependently.
Debugging: The process of identifying and fixing errors in a program that is not functioning as expected.
Control structure: Sections of code that order the direction or flow of how a program functions. The control structure in this activity is focused on loops.
Variable: The process of storing a value, so it can be retrieved and used by the program at any time.

(B.E, Anna University). I am a Software Engineer by profession. I teach kids Scratch, Web development. I did Montessori course. I have worked with Soft team for 4 years as a Software Engineer. I have also worked with Carevoyant for over a year.

Supply List

An internet connection and laptop or desktop computer are required to complete the projects. Students will be given a link at the beginning of the first class and we will walk through setting up their free Scratch account. As we walk through the setup, if the student is not familiar with how to navigate around a browser such as Chrome or Internet Explorer, it is suggested that a parent be present to assist if needed.

Time Commitment

Learning Goal

By the end of this course, the student should have a good grasp of programming concepts and how to use them to design and create projects.

I am Stella Rani(B.E,Anna University). I am a Software Engineer by profession. I did my Montessori course and I am really interested in teaching kids. 1) My mission is to make kids creative and innovative. 2) Teaching in an interesting way, so that they learn coding in a very easy way. 3) Making to see their imagination into action by just using simple blocks of code. 4) They will be able to learn basic concepts such as variables, controls, events, etc If you are looking for better learning and overall development of your child, then you would be really happy to see your child learn coding with fun.
