Course Description

Help your child to learn how to code two new games, extend their knowledge and skills, then use what they have learnt to create their own games.

This course is designed for parents who want to re-direct their child's natural enthusiasm for playing games into creating games and coding.

Students will learn essential techniques for creating action games including throwing and firing, interactive animation, chasing, rewards and health, and create a unique tree growing game in which the player must grow branches to allow circling birds to alight.

Our instructor is a qualified and experienced teacher who speaks clearly and precisely, leading the learner through the entire coding process. Each step is explained and demonstrated.

Your child will build confidence with Scratch, acquire essential games coding skills, and improve their creative, math and computational thinking skills.

It just improves my coding level so much!

By Servando Garcia on 11/11/2024

I enjoyed the pace of this lesson. It moves along quickly and simply. One thing that could improve it, is to show students how and why to add notes to algorithms along the way. It took me sometime to realize I could do that, and why its so helpful.

By Erin Thompson on 3/16/2022

Very fun but my child lost interest incredibly quickly ( after 13 minutes)
