Course Modules

What They'll Learn

Six structured modules, each one building on the last, from their very first sprite to a fully playable game.

2

Motion & Animation

Moving sprites, pen drawing, coordinate system

3

Sound & Music

Adding audio, creating rhythm patterns

4

Conditions & Decisions

If/else logic, user input, branching

5

Loops & Repetition

Repeat blocks, forever loops, patterns

6

Is This Course Right?

Who It's For

Perfect for

  • Complete beginners, zero coding experience needed
  • Ages 6โ€“8 (younger children with parental participation, older work independently)
  • Kids who love storytelling, drawing, games or music

Not the right fit

  • Kids who have already completed a Scratch course (we recommend Game Development)

How It Works

How Sessions Work

45โ€“60 Minute Sessions

One live session per week, enough time to go deep without losing focus.

Screen-Share & Co-Build

Your child's tutor shares their screen and builds alongside them in real time.

Something New Every Session

Every session ends with a visible addition to the project, no empty-handed days.

Parents Welcome to Observe

Sit in on any session. Many parents join the first 2โ€“3 to support practice at home.

Parent Stories

What Parents Say

โ€œMy 7-year-old now explains 'loops' to me at dinner. She built a whole story game. I had no idea she could do that.โ€

Adaeze O.

Lagos

โ€œI was worried it would be too hard, but her tutor made it feel like play. She cried when we had to end the session.โ€

Folake M.

London

โ€œHe's obsessed. He spends his free time on Scratch now, making things we didn't ask him to.โ€

Emeka T.

Houston

Start with one free session.
No commitment required.

Your child meets their tutor, builds their first Scratch project and leaves with something to show for it. You decide from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Scratch and do we need to download anything?

Scratch is a free, browser-based coding platform made by MIT. No downloads needed, just a browser and internet connection. We'll set everything up in the first session.

My child is only 6, is that too young?

Six-year-olds can absolutely do Scratch with the right support. Our tutors are trained to work with very young learners, and we adjust the pace and complexity to what each child can handle comfortably. We recommend parental presence for the first 2โ€“3 sessions.

How long until my child builds a real game?

Most children build their first simple interactive project in sessions 2โ€“3, and their first proper game by sessions 6โ€“8. Progress depends on the child's pace, we never rush.

What if my child already knows a little Scratch?

We do a quick assessment in the first session. If they're beyond the basics, we'll recommend our Game Development course which works with more advanced Scratch and introduces real physics and level design.

Can I sit in on the sessions?

Yes, parents are welcome to observe any session. Many parents find it helpful to watch the first few sessions so they can support practice at home.
