Skills: ProgrammingRoboticScratch

Young Explorers

$1.00

Our young explorers get to understand, appreciate, and interact with computers around them. They program robots and understand how to talk to computers (code), in age-appropriate computer languages like Blockly or ScratchJr. They explore basic computer science concepts like algorithms, sequencing, & debugging, while also honing their general literacy, logical reasoning, and spatial awareness skills. Their imagination is further triggered, as they link traditional & digital art expressions to create their own characters, backdrops, and stories in Scratch Jr. This fun-based program is activity based and completely hands-on.
