Scratch coding class for kids

Scratch is a block-based programming language developed by MIT Media Lab. This visual programming language is primarily used for teaching programming to younger kids as young as six years due to the simplicity and the fun elements offered.

FAQ

  1. Our kid is not familiar with computers; can he/ she join a scratch coding course?

    For Younger students who are not familiar with using the computer, parents should sit with them for few classes to help them follow the teacher’s instructions. Our free trial class will give an idea of what sort of support is required by the parent.

  2. I am not sure if my kid will show interest in coding and nor sure if I should enroll the child in the course.

    Again, the trial class is the answer if you are unsure if your child will show interest.

  3. Can I use a phone or iPad for the scratch coding class?

    Screen sharing will be difficult on few devices, and hence any device which has larger screens and screen sharing allowed can be used for the class. Contact Classvio support to do a test for this.

  4. Does scratch coding helps teach students to create real life applications?

    Scratch coding is used to introduce programming concepts and real life applications are not created on this platform.
