Give your child a head-start by learning how to code games.
Whilst the theory and logic of coding has remained the same for decades, methods have evolved significantly. This camp is ideal for younger kids to get to grips with coding. Scratch is a fantastic visual-based coding editor which enables children to create fun animations, interactive stories, games, sounds and much more! It’s the perfect introduction to coding and computational thinking that makes coding for kids seriously fun!
