Scratch Coding Classes for Kids Online

Scratch is a visual block-based programming language specially designed to introduce kids to coding. It’s the world's largest coding community for kids and a great way to start learning to code. Your child can start learning Scratch by signing up on Scratch.edu and going through the free tutorials available. We recommend signing up for Scratch coding classes for kids so your child can learn coding concepts such as variables, loops, and conditions in a structured manner

Overall Scratch programming has been designed primarily for kids between the ages 8 to 16. If we look at the official data of Scratch users we find users starting from age 4 and going up to 60+. ~36% (35 million) out of the 98 million Scratch users approximately are between 10 and 14. So, if you are wondering if Scratch is right for you, go for it as Scratch is loved by users of all ages.

Scratch is the largest coding community of kids worldwide. It’s definitely real coding as it allows the user to create programs that can instruct the computer to achieve a specific task. Scratch programming involves all the fundamental coding concepts such as variables, loops, and conditions, and therefore is completely worth learning. Scratch however uses a visual block-based coding interface to code vs a traditional text-based interface used by advanced programming languages such as Python or Java. The visual interface makes it easy to adopt for kids and beginners.

Scratch is a free coding platform. You can sign up on Scratch's official website and start coding. Based on your need and your level you can choose from the following Scratch resources: Scratch website: Go through the free tutorials Free scratch tutorials on Youtube: Scratch has an official channel where they share tutorials such as how to make games absolutely free Hour of Code.org: Hour of Code is a global initiative to promote computer science and coding. They provide interesting 1-hour tutorials for beginner coders Wiingy's Scratch coding classes: Sign up for Wiingy’s Scratch coding classes for kids if you are looking for structured online courses for your child where your child can develop coding basics

You can choose from Scratch official tutorials, Youtube tutorials, and professional coding classes for kids such as Wiingy to start learning Scratch. Refer to our Scratch programming guide to get started with essential Scratch concepts and build your first Scratch project.

We have experience of 1000’s of new learners and kids in Scratch coding. Based on our experience it will take about 3 months to learn Scratch coding through online coding classes, practice assignments, and quizzes. That’s why we have designed our Scratch programming course comprising of 24 coding classes 1 hour each scheduled in a duration of 12 weeks (3 months)

Our Scratch Coding course is a 12-week, 24-class coding program. We propose a frequency of 2 classes per week. Typically students are able to complete this course within 10 to 14 weeks.

Enrolling in the Scratch Coding course will help your child in learning computer programming concepts, and improve logical thinking by solving problems and create engaging games & animations.

Our Scratch coding classes for kids are designed for kids studying between Grades 1 to Grade 8. We have 4 Scratch coding courses specifically designed for kids studying in grades 1-2, grades 3-4, grades 5-6, and grades 7-8 respectively

Our course is divided into 2 modules. Each module comprises 12 online Scratch coding classes.  Module 1 covers coding lessons on how to design sprites, storytelling with sprites, adding visuals and animations with sprites, and automation using Coding.  Module 2 includes lessons on introduction to coding, Scratch programming, sequence, loops, and events.

Our Scratch Coding course is meant for children between Grades 1 to 8. The courses is suitable for absolute beginners and even those who are already familiar with coding. Every child is different, so we will assess them and adapt our methodology accordingly.
