Course Flow

Throughout this course, we will be learning many concepts of coding/programming.

Every concept will be explained using a fun filled activity/game.

You will be taught how to apply the concept by creating a few projects in Scratch.

You will also be taught how to apply the same concept by creating different projects in Microbit.

By applying the same concept in two different tools, you will gain a strong understanding of the concept.

In future, you will be able to apply the same concept in some other tool / an entirely different programming language

What is unique about this course?

1. Appearance of instructor on screen to make it easier for students to follow
2. Use of two resources - Scratch and Microbit
3. Use of fun filled activities/games to make explanation of concepts easier
