scratch 1
AGES 7-10

COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this beginner course, CodaKid provides foundational computer science training using MIT’s Scratch 3.0 block-based platform. Covering key coding concepts such as event listeners, loops, Cartesian coordinates, conditionals, variables, and randomization, we build a series of progressively more rigorous projects that provide a solid foundation in computer programming.

CodaKid’s research-based, project based learning (PBL) approach to Scratch 1 keeps the learning fun and engaging, while ensuring a solid foundation in CS

Upon completion of Scratch 1 Foundations, students will be ready to advance to Scratch 2 Foundations.

SCRATCH 1 FOUNDATIONS CURRICULUM – AGES 7 TO 10

The Scratch 1 Foundations course normally takes between 2 and 4 months to complete, depending upon course frequency (1:1 versus 1:1 Accelerated), the student’s prior coding experience, and the student’s consistency in completing homework assignments. Our teachers move at the student’s pace, and spend time ensuring that students have a thorough understanding of key concepts.
