Our youngest students start with block based programming with emphasis on developing foundational programming concepts and problem solving skills. We use Scratch's block-based programming platform to introduce the girls to the world of coding. They will develop the love for coding by creating animated stories, interactive games and sharing them with their friends and family.
​
A product of MIT media lab, Scratch is designed specifically for children to help them develop 21st century learning skills: thinking creatively, communicating clearly, analysing systematically, collaborating effectively, designing iteratively, and learning continuously. Scratch turns kids from media consumers into media producers, enabling them to create their own digital products.
