Held on consecutive Saturdays, this immersive event promises an exhilarating exploration into the world of programming through the user-friendly platform, Scratch.
The experience begins with a breakfast, orientation and guided practice and will continue twice a month through December 7. Sample sessions:
- Dive into the fundamentals of coding as our seasoned instructor introduces participants to Scratch, a visually engaging and intuitive programming language. Through hands-on activities and interactive tutorials, young minds will grasp the essentials of block based coding, cultivating program solving skills and logical thinking in a fun-filled environment.
- Building on the foundation laid earlier, attendees will delve deeper into Scratch’s advanced features, exploring concepts such as variables, loops, and conditional statements. The workhop takes a project-based approach, empowering participants to conceptualize and develop their own unique games or stories.
