Tell your school principal, we want Coding. If you would like your school to introduce the Coding Kids program to students, there are a few but important details that your school principal may be interested in finding out. We can always come to your school and have a chat with the school principal if that is easier.
Scratch
Scratch is a free, web-based drag and drop coding platform. There is also an offline version available. We use Scratch to teach programming to primary school students. We have developed five Scratch course levels based on a set of competencies per level.
We have developed our curriculum into five Scratch course levels. Each level is focused on a set of competencies. Click here for more information on the course levels and its competencies.

How do we build a game? Let’s build this game together, “Knight collects the coin” game: Click here to open a sample presentation. As you can see in the presentation, there are 6 parts to building the game.
As programmers there are principles we need to follow:

– Only code one step at a time.
– Test your code and make sure it works before before proceeding to the next step.
