ABOUT THIS COURSE AND FORMAT

This course teaches students to program their own interactive stories, games, and animations with a personalized and adapted approach. Scratch encourages kids to think creatively, reason systematically and work collaboratively with their instructors who will tailor the course content to teach according to the capabilities or prior knowledge of the student.

Students get to learn in a comfortable environment with an adapted pace and get to share their creations with others in the online community by assembling Lego-like blocks of code.
