Block Coding with Beavers

Gamified coding course

4:30 – 5:30 on Tuesdays
Code Cadets
Grades: 1st to 2nd

Students learn sequencing, repetition, problem-solving, and conditional logic while developing practical coding skills. The course employs a hands-on, gamified approach that gradually increases in complexity, allowing each child to advance at their own speed. By the end, students can create sophisticated programs, having built a strong foundation in coding and computational thinking.

We start to learn fundamental coding concepts by helping a beaver build a dam! The learning continues with learning to code games in Scratch.

  • Introduction to coding and its importance
  • Basic commands (move, drop)
  • Sequential programming
  • Repeat loops
  • Problem-solving techniques
  • Longer and nested loops
  • Counter loops
  • Conditional loops (until and while loops)
  • If statements
  • If-else statements
  • Event-driven programming
  • Compound conditional statements
Our Teaching Approach
  • Hands-on coding exercises
  • Gamified learning with a beaver dam-building theme
  • Gradual increase in complexity

Join us on this exciting journey from basic commands to creating sophisticated programs!
