A structured, project-first track where students progress from computer basics to building complete games independently using block-based coding and foundational STEAM skills.
For students new to programming and computer literacy, this program teaches foundational STEAM skills using Scratch—a beginner-friendly visual programming language. Students progress from basic computer skills to building complete interactive projects: mastering digital tools, learning block-based coding logic, and creating games independently. The program combines technical skill development with creative expression and problem-solving thinking.
Students learn fundamental computer skills: mouse and keyboard control, navigating operating systems, and basic file management. They practice logging in, opening applications, and using essential computer controls. Students build confidence using technology independently before starting coding.
Students master Zoom features for online learning: screen sharing, chat, annotation tools, and microphone/camera controls. They practice navigating learning platforms, submitting work, and communicating with teachers. Focus is on independent online learning skills essential for success in digital education.
Students explore the Scratch interface: stage, sprites, backdrops, and block palette. They learn to navigate the Scratch editor, understand the workspace layout, and create their first simple interactions. Students see how visual programming blocks control sprite behavior.
Students create an interactive "All About Me" project introducing themselves through Scratch. They add sprites, change costumes, apply backdrops, and create basic interactions. Students learn sequencing: making actions happen in order through block stacking.
Students build an animated dance party project featuring movement and sound. They use motion blocks, sound blocks, and timing to create coordinated animations. Focus is on understanding how blocks work together to create complex behaviors from simple commands.
Students explore existing Scratch projects and learn to remix them—making modifications to others' code. They analyze how projects work, identify code blocks to change, and add their own creative touches. Students learn by deconstructing and rebuilding existing work.
Students build their first simple game with basic interactions and objectives. They combine all learned skills: sprites, movement, sound, and sequencing to create a playable project. Focus is on completing a full project from start to finish independently.
Students present their projects to classmates, demonstrating what they built and explaining how it works. They practice presenting their work clearly, giving peer feedback, and reflecting on what they learned. Students share projects publicly on the Scratch community platform.
Students learn event-driven programming: when green flag clicked, when key pressed, when sprite clicked. They understand how events trigger code execution and create interactive projects responding to user input. Focus is on cause-and-effect programming logic.
Students implement conditional logic using if/else blocks to create branching behavior. They build projects where different outcomes occur based on conditions: if touching edge, if key pressed, if variable equals value. Students learn decision-making in code.
Students use loops to repeat actions efficiently: repeat 10, forever, repeat until. They understand when to use each loop type and how loops reduce repetitive code. Focus is on creating efficient, clean code through repetition structures.
Students create and use variables to store data: scores, lives, timers, player names. They learn to set, change, and display variable values throughout projects. Students understand how variables track game state and enable complex interactions.
Students create custom blocks (functions) to organize code into reusable pieces. They learn when to create functions, how to use parameters, and why code organization matters. Focus is on modular programming and reducing code repetition through abstraction.
Students build an interactive game applying all learned concepts: events, conditions, loops, variables, and functions. They design game mechanics, implement scoring systems, and create win/lose conditions. Focus is on combining concepts to build complete game systems.
Students plan and build a logic-based project demonstrating understanding of programming concepts. They break problems into steps, choose appropriate coding structures (loops vs conditions), and debug issues systematically. Focus is on applying logic intentionally, not randomly.
Students present their logic-based projects, explaining the code behind features. They walk through key blocks, justify coding choices, and discuss challenges solved. Students practice communicating technical concepts clearly and receive feedback on both project design and code structure.
Students design an original game or interactive experience from scratch. They define objectives, identify required features, and plan implementation steps. Students justify design choices, define project scope, and create a development roadmap for their final project.
Students break their project into manageable tasks and create a detailed plan. They sketch character designs, plan sprite interactions, outline game mechanics, and identify required coding structures. Focus is on planning before building to ensure organized development.
Students implement core game mechanics and foundational systems. They build character controls, basic interactions, and essential gameplay loops. Focus is on creating a stable foundation with tested core features before adding complexity.
Students design and implement obstacles, enemies, or challenges for their game. They create movement patterns, collision detection, and obstacle behaviors using loops and conditions. Focus is on balancing difficulty and creating engaging gameplay challenges.
Students implement scoring systems, objectives, and win/lose conditions. They use variables to track progress, create victory screens, and design clear goals. Focus is on giving players clear objectives and meaningful feedback throughout gameplay.
Students playtest their games, identify bugs, and gather feedback. They adjust difficulty, fix coding errors, improve visual presentation, and refine gameplay based on testing. Focus is on iterative improvement: test, identify problems, fix, repeat.
Students add final touches: instructions, sound effects, visual polish, and game descriptions. They prepare presentation materials explaining their project, features implemented, and challenges overcome. Focus is on professional presentation and clear documentation.
Students present their final games to classmates, instructors, and invited guests. They demonstrate gameplay, explain code structure, share their development process, and reflect on lessons learned. Students showcase their growth from beginner to independent creator.
Dance parties, stories, and animated scenes with coordinated movement and sound.
Catching games, maze navigators, and basic interactive experiences with objectives.

No prior computer or coding experience required. Level 1 starts with basic computer skills before introducing programming concepts.
Yes. Scratch teaches genuine programming concepts (loops, variables, conditions, functions) used in all programming languages—just without typing syntax, making it perfect for beginners.
Absolutely. Students who master Scratch concepts transition smoothly to text-based languages like Python or JavaScript because they already understand programming logic.
Each level builds on previous skills. We recommend starting at Level 1 unless your child already has strong computer literacy and Scratch experience.
Students' Scratch projects are published online where you can play them directly. You'll receive links to their work and can watch them present during showcase sessions.
