About this course

This is a family learning course suitable for adults with children aged 7 – 12. Attendees will learn the basics of coding using Scratch – a free online coding environment designed for children (but great for adults too!) Please note: This is a course for parents and children together. An adult must be present and visible to the tutor for the duration of the session.

How to use simple maths to move objects around the screen.
Controlling code using decision making and simple logic
Creating games

What will learners achieve by the end of the course?

Adults will have the skills and knowledge to support children and explore the Scratch coding environment together. What skills or knowledge do learners already need to have to attend the course?

Learners should be able to use a computer and use web browsing software. The course will be delivered using Zoom: learners will watch ‘Walkthrough’ demonstrations by the tutor and then attempt tasks set in course materials.

Written course materials will be distributed as PDF files through the Zoom chat function where possible. Links to an online resource bank (handouts and ‘How-To’ videos) will be available to learners through file-sharing services.

As this course is online, a suitable device such as laptop, smart phone, tablet or computer will be required to access the course. Zoom will be used for the live sessions and the link will be sent to you once your enrolment has been completed.
