Scratch is a visual programming language created by the MIT Media Lab in 2007. Its drag and-drop interface with colorful blocks makes it one of the most intuitive programming languages to learn.

Scratch has a huge online community where kids can create their own interactive stories, games and animations and share with people all over the world. It provides kids their very first introduction to the exciting world of coding, learning how things work, basic computer logic all by using drag and drop blocks feature. As children create with Scratch, they learn to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically.

Tools: MIT Scratch Programming Web Application. No prior downloading of software required.

In this course, students will begin their journey into computer programming with the interactive drag-and-drop coding blocks. During our sessions, students will engage in instructor-led lessons, collaborative discussions, and independent project work and successfully create their own game in Scratch.

iTrainKids is the key curriculum partner of Snoopedu that powers the Inventors School Teaching Programmes.  iTrainKids offers specialised technology workshops, school holiday bootcamps and weekend classes for children between the ages of 7 and 17. Over 5,000 Malaysian children have learned to become coders and makers of various apps, games, websites and more since the establishment of iTrainKids. Incorporating interactive sessions and experiential learning to teach coding principles and applications, kids are taught how to develop their own digital masterpieces and become creative problem solvers in their own right!

By introducing children early on to programming in a fun and enriching environment, they won’t just learn to code, but also code to learn. Kids will naturally ‘learn as they play’—and that’s a surefire way to get them excited about learning.
