Scratch Programming Course

(Scratch)

This is a great course to introduce coding to small children who’ve never done coding before. This course will provide the necessary coding basics to enjoy the essence of creating things using code without worrying too much about the syntax. Kids will make multiple games and will gain the logical thinking behind creation and programming by dragging and dropping blocks on a user-interface. Children will learn and have fun at the same time doing this course.

What will the child learn:

Visualizing and designing games
Animating characters in games
Introduction to Sprites
Working with sound and voice in games
Understanding events and application of events in developing games
Understanding variables and applying the concept of variables in developing games
Controlling characters using mouse and keyboard
Basics of conditionals and loops
Application of velocity and speed in creating games
Application of conditionals in making games
Space Defender, Flappy Bird, Bubble Frenzy, Helicopter Games
Racing Car game, Snake Game, Scary Shark games
Geometric Pattern Animations, Reflection Drawing Game, & Mathematical Games
Publishing own games in the public domain

Game Development for Kids

(block based javascript)

Children will be introduced to the block-based coding through which they will learn the fundamental program constructs and will practice in JavaScript Programming language.

They will create programmatic images, animations, interactive arts and games. They will start with simple and primitive shapes and build up to more sophisticated sprite-based games, students will become familiar with the programming concepts and the design process that computer scientists use daily. They then learn how these simpler constructs can be combined to create more complex games. At the end of the course, students will develop a personalized, interactive game of their own that includes basic programming concepts such as control structures, variables, user input and randomness.
