For Ages: 7 to 12

In this programme, students get to learn the concepts of programming using Scratch 3.0, a block–based coding platform. Students will learn standard programming while focusing on increasingly challenging computational thinking activities.

Students will learn standard programming proficiencies such as:

• When Green Flag clicked/When (key) pressed
• If/Else
• Forever/Repeat until/Repeat (x)
• Wait (x) seconds/Wait Until
• Variables

Students will learn concepts such as, but not limited to:

• String manipulation
• Making/Adding/Editing Lists
• Sprite coordinate system
• Moving (x) steps and turning (x) degrees
• Using/deleting clones of sprites
• Ask the user for input blocks

Upcoming Competition: IDE Series 2024

• Competition date
  • 6 May 2024 (Preliminary)
  • 20 May 2024 (Finals)
• IDE (Innovation, Design and Engineering) Series is a national technology and engineering competition event. The competition aims to challenge students on problem-solving across domains such as electronics, programming, and mechanical design.
• Under this Scratch Programme, students will be able to participate in the IDE Code Builder; a category under the IDE Series 2024. They will code based on a series of computing–based questions as individual participants.
