Block based coding involves dragging blocks of instruction to manipulate the code and is designed to be easy to learn and use for kids and early programmers before shifting to powerful and difficult-to-learn text-based coding. Coding fosters creativity, develops algorithmic/computational thinking, logical reasoning, problem solving and many more in kids, necessary to thrive in Interdisciplinary technology workspaces of future.
Scratch a popular block based coding language developed at MIT and exercises from code.org , with high quality curricula teaching Computer Science for K-12 students will be used for this camp.
Once the basic concepts required are covered, kids will work on creating interactive media like stories, games, animations using easy to use block coding environment.
This course is for kids aged 7+ yrs and above. it is one hour class thrice a week. course starts on 5th may.
