Block-Based and Python Programming
Block-based programming is a beginner friendly, visual approach to coding/programming where your kids drag and connect blocks to create programs. It helps your child understand programming logic by providing a visual representation of the code. Examples include Scratch, which allows users to create games and animations by combining colourful blocks. It's a simple and creative way to learn and apply programming concepts and a great starting point for kids who have not been exposed to code.Runs for 10 - 12 weeks
