What your child will learn

Choose your child’s grade. Every track is live and project-based, helping kids learn by building real things.

Grades 1-3 - Ages 6-9

Children learn five core coding concepts - sequencing, events, loops, patterns and simple logic - by creating animations, stories, games and beginner AI projects. Everything happens with drag and drop blocks, so no typing or advanced reading is required.

✓First steps in coding with visual blocks
✓Sequencing, events, and simple logic
✓Loops, patterns, and interactive actions
✓Beginner game and animation creation
✓Scratch-based storytelling and projects
✓Early AI and app exploration
✓Solve coding challenges step by step
✓Problem-solving through hands-on activities
Grades 4-5 - Ages 9-11

The bridge stage. Students move beyond block coding into Python, web development with HTML and CSS, and beginner AI, while still building games and animations in Scratch - so the shift from blocks to typed code feels natural.

✓Build interactive apps and beginner games
✓Design logic games and Scratch projects
✓Create animations and interactive stories
✓Learn the basics of website building
✓Write beginner Python code
✓Explore AI and machine learning concepts
✓Solve guided coding challenges
✓Build real projects step by step
Grades 6-8 - Ages 11-14

Students move beyond visual blocks and start writing actual code. Python, web development, app building and AI, through projects they can genuinely show off.

✓Python and JavaScript fundamentals
✓Building and designing websites
✓Beginner AI and machine learning
✓Data science and pattern spotting
✓App development with MIT App Inventor
✓Solving complex coding challenges
✓Debugging and fixing real programs
✓Building hands-on coding projects
Grades 9-10 - Ages 14-16

Serious technical depth. Students work across advanced Python, data science, AI, machine learning, Java and competitive programming, and build a portfolio that reflects real ability.

✓Advanced Python for apps and automation
✓Website development with HTML, CSS, JavaScript
✓Data science and machine learning fundamentals
✓AI concepts and real-world applications
✓Java programming and problem solving
✓Competitive programming challenges
✓Building a real project portfolio
✓Debugging and optimizing complex programs
Grades 11-12 - Ages 16-18

College-ready computer science. Students prepare for AP Computer Science A, work through algorithms and data structures, and build full-stack web and applied data science projects for their college portfolio.

✓AP Computer Science A preparation
✓Algorithms and data structures
✓Java for AP CS and competitive programming
✓Full-stack website development
✓Applied data science and machine learning
✓Databases and SQL
✓Independent capstone projects
✓A portfolio for college applications
