Course Overview
This course offers a perfect combination and balance between Game Design and Computing along with Engineering in alternate weekly classes.
In Minecraft week, children will immerse in a 3D virtual world and be introduced to theme-based building challenges that promotes creativity and problem-solving skills.
During a computing week using ScratchJr, students will be encouraged into a gentle introduction to coding concepts using a graphical block-based interface to make their favorite characters move, jump, sing, or dance.
During an engineering activity using LEGO Bricks, students will design and build theme-based LEGO models that engage them in understanding and working on real-world topics.
These sessions will encourage your young child’s natural creativity, innate curiosity about the world, build on their ability to solve problems independently, and capacity for forming and answering their own questions getting them interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and they will be better equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
