About Course

This course introduces learners to the fundamentals of block coding, allowing them to build logical thinking and problem-solving skills in a hands-on, fun environment. Students will start with basic commands and sequencing before progressing to advanced topics such as loops, conditionals, and functions. Using platforms like Scratch and Blockly, they will create interactive games, animations, and applications. By the end of the course, students will be able to design and execute their own coding projects, fostering computational thinking and creativity.

Key Benefits:

• Beginner-friendly drag-and-drop coding approach.
• Hands-on learning with creative projects and problem-solving tasks.
• Develops computational thinking and logical reasoning.
• Encourages teamwork and collaborative coding projects.
• Prepares students for text-based coding languages in the future.

What You’ll Learn:

Basic Concepts:

• Introduction to block coding platforms like Scratch and Blockly.
• Variables and data types (numbers, text, Boolean).
• Simple commands (move, turn, change color, play sound).
• Understanding sequencing and repetition.

Control Structures:

• Conditional statements (if/else, if/else if).
• Loops (for loops, while loops, nested loops).

Functions and Procedures:

• Creating custom functions with inputs and outputs.
• Reusing and organizing code with functions.

Object Interaction:

• Manipulating sprites or objects in a coding environment.
• Handling object collisions and properties.

Advanced Concepts:

• Lists and arrays.
• User input and interactive projects.
• Debugging and problem-solving techniques.
• Data visualization and hardware integration.
