Scratch coding
Not every child loves robots, and that's fine. Scratch is a full block coding programme on its own, with no robotics. Kids make their own animations, stories and games, and learn the same core coding ideas used in every programming language, in a way that feels like play.
What they learn
- Sprites, backdrops, sounds and animation
- Events, loops, conditions and variables
- Scoring, levels and game rules
- Planning and finishing a full project
Skills they grow
- Creativity and storytelling
- Logical thinking
- Typing and computer confidence
- A smooth path into Python later
Good for: kids who prefer screens, stories and games over building, or parents who want coding without robotics.
