Overview
We begin by introducing Scratch to build simple games and animations with your kids, through which they will learn important coding concepts.
- Adopt project-based learning to build core and important coding concepts through active exploration of real life problems.
- Deep dive into game design and development with programming animations by using Scratch.
- Apply logical thinking and creativity to code animation and games.
Curriculum
Module 1
Scratch Programming for Beginners
MIT Scratch is a block-based programming language created for kids. It uses a drag-and-drop interface, making it easy for kids to master even without programming background. With basic computer programming concepts such as loops, and if-then-else, functions, kids can start building their own animations, stories, and games.
Module 2
Intermediate Scratch: Extending Into Games
Students will develop mastery of existing coding concepts and discover new and more complex ones on the way. We will dive into the art of programming animations with Scratch as a component of game design and development, and learn about the nature of gameplay and game design.
Module 3
Artificial Intelligence with Scratch
AI is becoming more important in almost all industries nowadays. For example, AI can be used to support diagnostics in the medical field, and the use of robots can replace strenuous tasks by humans in industrial applications. Kids will be exposed to a number of AI applications on Scratch and understand how AI can be applied to real life.

Blueinno student studying Weekly Scratch program
In Blueinno, I have learned a lot about coding, Scratch programming, micro:bit, the App Inventor, and Arduino. I also learned more about community care, cause lots of inventions can help our society. I would like to recommend this Blueinno coding class to all of my friends, because all the teachers are very nice, kind and like sharing.

About Scratch
Scratch is an innovative block-based programming language developed by MIT, specifically designed to make coding accessible and engaging for kids aged 7-10. With its intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Scratch introduces core programming concepts such as loops, and if-then-else statements, and functions in a visually appealing and interactive way. Kids can use Scratch to create their own animations, stories, and games, fostering their creativity while developing valuable coding skills. As they advance, learners can delve deeper into game design and even explore applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within Scratch, preparing them for the digital world of the future. Scratch's project-based learning approach effectively bridges the gap between real-world challenges and coding principles, empowering young learners to make meaningful digital creations.
