Programming for children in Plantation!

You already know that programming is a new literacy that can be mastered from the age of 6!

With Scratch Jr, young children (6-7 years old) can program their own interactive stories and games. In the process, they learn to solve logical problems, develop projects, and creatively express their thoughts using a computer.

Frequent changes of activities, a lot of team games, individual experimentation with the computer, pair and group work.

Working on the computer takes 30% of the time; the remaining 70% is for variations with games for developing the skills of Four C’s (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity).

There are a tutor and an assistant of the tutor at each lesson. They work with a group of 8-12 children.

The result of the module is a child's own interactive story or multi-level game, with fictional characters and a plot, that can be shown to friends and relatives.

Scratch constructor program for children is ideal for creating their first game.

All it takes is the ability to read.
Children will come up with the mechanics, plot, and characters and build a real game by themselves. 
Learn the basic concepts of programming with the help of a visual assistant.

Roblox is an immersive educational tool where the opportunities for creativity and imagination are limitless. Platform offers resources to teach students real coding, game design, digital civility, and entrepreneurial skills.

There is a well-respected theory named “Constructionism,” first posed by Seymour Papert of MIT Media Lab. It holds that kids learn best when they are in the active roles of designer and builder and that this learning is accelerated when they assume these roles in a public forum. We support this theory.

We’ve observed that many users of Roblox become deeply engaged with building complex structures and solving difficult problems when they know that the fruits of their labor will be seen and played by others. Millions of kids have used Roblox tools to imagine what it’s like to explore the farthest reaches of outer space, build a vast metropolis, or design a vehicle with realistic suspension and physics systems. The level of creativity the Roblox community exhibits, along with the time and care they spend building, never fails to astonish us.
