Programming for Kids and Beginners
Learn to Code in Scratch
In this course, we'll learn to code, starting from the basic blocks. No kidding. Scratch, the programming language we use (developed by MIT), is so fun that it makes programming seem like a game.
We'll learn by doing. The course is designed so that you create the games and applications with your own two hands. But what makes this course truly unique is the teaching method I've used live for almost 4 years. We learn a variety of computer science topics, but we hide the complexity behind characters, animations, analogies and fun.
That's because, in these carefully designed lessons, we train our intuition to make sense of what we want to achieve and how to get there. This will help you quickly master the basics. After this course, you'll learn text-based programming languages at a blazing speed and quickly make sense of any piece of code.
The content is designed to be fun. We learn to create animations and cool effects and we create clones of some of the most popular games: Flappy Bird, Duck Hunt or Pac-Man. The games are handpicked to optimize learning computer science topics while having fun along the way. I will also update the course on a regular basis with new content - and challenges.
This course is designed for
- parents or teachers who want to give their children the best skills and most fun
- kids and beginners who want to learn to code games
- anyone new to programming who doesn't know where to start
I can't wait to have you in the course.
The course is regularly updated with new material, tips and tricks that you can use in your games and projects.

Amazing tutorial Finding it way too fast Easy to follow and clear instructions.
really good teacher yEET Very easy to follow and so much fun!
There were a few issues with terminology and application with Scratch 3 For a beginner like me and my child, the explanations are so easy to follow, and practice.
However expected some amount of actual coding and not dragging and dropping stuff that was pre-made so half a star gone there, but all in all, well done I LOVE IT JUST BECAUSE I CAN NOW MAKE MY GAMES AND PLAY WITH OTHER PEOPLE Thankyou daniel ciocirlan I found the course really easy to follow and it moves at a steady pace.
Clear, easy to follow instructions.
Greets from Bulgaria Easy to follow and very clear i hope in this course to have some knowledge about programing because my work need that My 8 yr old son says this is amazing "Because coding is a very good way to learn things about how electronics work or things in general.
Easy to follow along and fun!

year old
I'm having my 8 and 10 year old daughters going through this course.
I love it It was Good, But for a ten year old like me I think it needs a little more fun It was a little boring at the moment other than that It was Great!
my 5 and 8 year old are loving it!!!
I have never seen my 9 year old smile so much while learning.
My 8 year old daughter is loving the first lesson so far - very very interesting - we shall see how the rest of the course goes Great Material and well laid out.
Just pure awesomeness so fun Good information, waiting to see if an 8 year old can accomplish this course.

left this rating
It helped my child experiment throughout the course and advised him to play around with it I left this rating because scratch explains to you what they are lecturing about!
The instructor makes everything easy to understand for a beginner it is very entertaining and it gives people the oppotunity to make games I left this rating because I fully understood this course am just excited.

Very good It is awsome yes, it has a lot of explonation and tips I thought I knew a lot of things in scratch, but I didn't know you could do so much!
I watched the first few videos, and I already learned a lot of things!

too fast
i like it, but sometimes it goes too fast and i cant keep up.
I like the way that he he demonstrates the ways to do and place every thing, and he doesn't talk or do something too fast for me to understand.

boring at
:) I left it 3 and 1 half because it is fun and boring at the same time The instructor perfectly clarifies the matter, if you do not get it watch again :) good and good for learning python and java Having a good time going through the course the games are cool and I’m learning I can follow along easily and its great!
It's a bit boring at the beginning.
explains everything
Daniel , the person who explains everything in this course explains it very slowly and in an understandable way.
It was good but I wish full screen was bigger it was good the tutor explains everything clearly.

make games
I was amazed at how easy it was to code these games I soon gained a persona on the scratch website and make games on a daily basis.
Yes I know a little bit of scratch but what this person is teaching is out of this world The reason is i have so much i can make games I liked this course because it taught me to code with blocks instead of normal code.
