Coding is all about thinking. Learning to code combines scientific knowledge with creativity and learning a whole new language. It requires high activity of multiple areas in the brain and altogether empower children. when children code they learn how to express themselves, develop procedural thinking, and strengthen their confidence, they acquire a new set of skills that help them shift from just consuming information to becoming digital creators.

In the App development course, students will learn the basics of coding Apps and games for smartphones. They will write code for the first time, develop and design their own unique self-made products.

During the course students will learn and implement the following concepts:... [-]

Coding, just like any other language, is learned best at a young age. There are many ways to teach programming, however, the main challenge is how to explain abstract mathematical concepts like axis, parameters and variables to young children. Scratch, a programming language that was developed by MIT, rises to the challenge. It uses colorful animation to help illustrate difficult concepts and opens a door to the wonderful world of code.

This introductory course invites kids to create games, videos and stories, while learning the foundations of coding so there’s no need for previous experience. Kids will get to know the Scratch learning environment, its friendly animated characters and cool graphic design tools. They will create fun games by dragging and dropping built-in blocks of code, which will help them implement the internal logic and structure of programming.... [-]
