1 module: pCRATCH JUNIOR or ScratchJr

​

SCRATCH JUNIOR or ScratchJr is a visual programming environment designed for children in elementary school classes. On the Scratch Junior platform, children learn to program and create full-fledged projects. With the help of an adapted environment, the child learns to animate pictures and create interactive stories and games, even without reading and writing skills.

The application has a convenient and intuitive interface, so the guys can easily cope with its development. The Scratch Junior environment uses a block code - the program is assembled from bright "bricks" resembling a multi-colored Lego constructor. They are easy to pull and connect together. The command blocks are marked with pictures here so that kids can easily understand their meaning.

​

Kodu Game Lab is an interactive environment that helps kids to easily create 3D games with visual code. You can start creating projects on Game Lab Code even without programming language knowledge. A unique platform created by Microsoft Corporation. In the children's development environment of the "software giant", a child can create their own game world and fill it as they wish.

 

In the core module, children will learn concepts such as algorithms and logical operations, understand programming logic, and acquire development skills using visual blocks on the Kodu platform. After completing the course, young programmers will be able to create characters and landscapes as well as multi-level games.

​

Learning plan:

 

• Creation of the playing field;

• development of the kodu character;

3 Module: Kodu Game Lab 

​

In the third module, the boys will continue to learn about the fantastic world of the Kodu Game Lab platform. Although this part focuses on learning how to program and create games, during the training children are immersed in many things that broaden their horizons. Mastering development skills, boys learn the rules of the road (SDA), fun facts about construction, sports and the gaming industry.

 

The child consolidates the knowledge acquired in the basic course and uses it to create game projects on various topics and in different genres.
