Coding Masters – I
This course helps our young scientists become master coders by learning the two fundamentals of programming, i.e., Flowcharts & Algorithms. Children are taught to build and structure algorithms using flowcharts and then implement their knowledge on real-world problems.
Students will also be introduced to game development in MIT’s Scratch – world’s most powerful graphical programming language for early-age coders. Scratch allows children to drag, drop and combine blocks of code to create logic and run their codes for a range of interactive projects in the most fun-filled way possible. Students will also learn to develop animations and games using Scratch.
This all, combined with an experienced computer scientist on the other side as their mentor, students are going to love every minute of their journey in becoming Code Masters.
