Class Experience
Learn how to program in Scratch, online coding platform developed by MIT. No typing skills necessary. Our Scratch curriculum is designed to motivate through example rather than through drills. Kids will gain the confidence to explore the vast Scratch platform on their own by the end of the semester. Age ranges are approximate. If you are unsure which class would be best for your child, please feel free to reach out to us at info@penguincodingschool.com and we would be happy to help.
Notes
We provide an online account on scratch.mit.edu for you.

All the kids were actively participating and sharing. All were fully engaged.
Improvements:
I am not sure it can be improved on other than perhaps having an extra assistant to help? But overall, the teacher was able to focus and refocus kids on their task at all time. Very impressed.
