FAQ

What is Scratch, and why is it good for beginners?

Scratch is a drag-and-drop, block-based programming language built for kids — there's no typing required, so your child can focus on learning real programming logic (loops, conditions, events) without fighting syntax.

Does my child need to already know how to type or read well?

No. Scratch is built around colorful blocks that snap together, which makes it approachable even for kids who are still building their reading and typing skills.

What age is this course best for?

Ages 6–11 — it's usually a child's very first coding course, and a common stepping stone before moving on to text-based languages like Python.

What's the “AI” part of this course?

In the final module, kids use Scratch's AI extensions to train a simple recognizer (for example, telling images or gestures apart) and connect it to their own project — a gentle, visual first introduction to how machine learning actually works.

Does my child need to install anything?

No — Scratch runs entirely in the browser. Nothing to download or set up before class.

What will my child build by the end of the course?

A finished animation, a real playable game (Catch the Falling Stars), and an AI-powered interactive project — three real things to show off, not just exercises.

Is this good preparation for learning Python later?

Yes — the logic your child practices here (loops, conditionals, variables, events) is exactly what carries over when they're ready to move to text-based languages like our Python Champion course.

Can my child keep working on projects between classes?

Yes — Scratch projects save to their account, so they can keep building, experimenting, and showing off their work anytime.
