About
Our Python and Scratch Programming Course is designed to introduce young minds to the exciting world of coding through fun, interactive projects. Kids will start with Scratch, a visual programming tool that helps them build games and stories while learning coding fundamentals. Then, they’ll move on to Python, one of the world’s most popular programming languages, where they’ll create simple games, solve puzzles, and explore digital art with coding.
This course boosts problem-solving skills, creativity, and confidence — all while making learning fun! By the end, your child will have built their own projects and gained a solid foundation for future tech adventures. 🌟
No prior coding experience needed — just curiosity and imagination!
