Level I: Programming Foundation
Learning the foundations of programming is an exciting and rewarding experience for kids. They get to bring their own ideas to life by creating animations, games, and interactive stories. It encourages creativity and experimentation, which can help build confidence and encourage a love of learning.
Scratch is the first step in our journey. It is based on a simple block-like interface that allows kids to easily create programs by dragging and dropping blocks representing different actions, such as moving a sprite or playing a sound. The blocks snap together, making it easy for kids to understand how the program works and to see the cause and effect of their actions.
The Codiska program for Learning programming foundations consists of nine well-designed projects. Brick by brick, the base for understanding programming is established, introducing the main concepts from loops and conditional statements to variables, functions, and events handling.
We provide a structured curriculum, educational videos, and hands-on experience with coding projects backed by 1-1 weekly mentoring sessions. This is not only educational, fun, and engaging for the children, but it also helps to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As the children progress, they build a solid foundation for future programming languages. Plus, the Codiska platform provides a great way to connect with other young coders from around the world.
Empower your child to be a part of the technology revolution by starting their journey today!
