ABOUT THIS COURSE

What you'll experience over 50 sessions

Block Coding Level 1 is where coding starts feeling like play. Kids snap colorful blocks for motion, sound, loops, and events to bring characters and stories to life.

Every concept is tied to a project they can share — a mini-game, an animated story, a quiz — so learning feels creative, not abstract.

Mentors keep sessions paced for younger attention spans, celebrate small wins, and build the confidence that carries into text-based coding later.

Parents see progress through finished projects and mentor notes — clear proof that logic and creativity are growing week by week.

Who it's for

Best for beginners (roughly ages 7–11) new to coding, or anyone who wants a playful first step before typed languages.
