SciTech Academy presents Online Coding Program For Kids 2020
Coding is the new literacy! Just as writing helps you organize your thinking and express your ideas, the same is true for coding. Coding enables you to craft your own interactive stories and games and thus express yourself creatively on the computer. In the Code Champ program, young children can program their own interactive stories and games using ScratchJr. Within 4 weeks, they learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively on the computer. Children snap together graphical programming blocks to make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. Children can modify characters in the paint editor, add their own voices and sounds, even insert photos of themselves, and then use the programming blocks to make their characters come to life.
Children learn to think sequentially, explore cause and effect, and develop the design and problem-solving skills. At the same time, they learn to use math and language in a meaningful and motivating context. They also get instructed on how to divide complex problems into simpler parts, iteratively refine and improve their work, remix, and build on the work of others and persevere in the face of challenges.
