What is Scratch programming ?

Free Scratch coding for kids, block-based, no syntax errors.

🧩

Built by MIT

Scratch is a free visual coding tool made by MIT, the same institute behind decades of computing research.

🖱️

Drag, Drop, Create

Kids snap together colourful blocks instead of typing, so there are no syntax errors to slow them down.

🎮

Twelve Real Games, Not Theory

Every project on this course is a full, playable game or story your child builds and keeps.

“Scratch teaches real programming logic without the syntax headaches. Twelve real games, one final project, all your child's own design.”

What Your Child Will Build

Every project is built live in class — not copied from a tutorial.

Bounce Game
Project 1

Bounce Game

A ball bounces off walls and paddles, with speed increasing as the game goes on.

Catching Game
Project 2

Catching Game

A character catches falling objects. Score goes up, lives go down.

Geometry Dash
Project 3

Geometry Dash

A character auto-runs and jumps over obstacles in time with the music.

Boat Game
Project 4

Boat Game

A boat is steered across water, dodging obstacles and collecting points.

Flappy Bird Game
Project 5

Flappy Bird Game

A character taps to fly through gaps between moving pipes.

Zombie Game
Project 6

Zombie Game

Zombies approach and the player must tap, shoot, or dodge to survive.

Balloon Pop Game
Project 7

Balloon Pop Game

Balloons rise on screen and the player pops them before they escape.

Fish Eating Game
Project 8

Fish Eating Game

A fish grows bigger by eating smaller fish while avoiding bigger ones.

Alien Invasion Shooter
Project 9

Alien Invasion Shooter

A spaceship shoots down waves of aliens before they reach the bottom.

Fruit Slicing Game
Project 10

Fruit Slicing Game

Fruits are thrown into the air and sliced with mouse swipes for points.

Quiz Game
Project 11

Quiz Game

A multiple choice quiz that checks the answer and keeps score.

Story
Project 12

Story

A character moves, talks, and changes costumes to tell a short animated story.

Dance Party Finale
Project 13

Dance Party Finale

The final project: a multi scene game or animation your child designs and builds solo.

How the Course Works

A clear learning path from first concept to final project.

3
Week 1

Motion and Looks Blocks

  • Homework: make a sprite move around the stage and change costumes.
4
Week 2

Sound and Events Blocks

  • Homework: add sound effects triggered by a key press or click
3
Week 3

Control Blocks (loops, if then, repeat)

  • Homework: make a sprite repeat an action forever or until a condition is met.
4
Week 4

Sensing and Operators Blocks

  • Homework: make a sprite react when it touches an edge, colour, or another sprite.
5
Week 5

Variables and Lists Blocks

  • Homework: create a score variable that increases when something happens.
6
Week 6 to 15

Building the Projects

  • With the blocks mastered, your child builds one real project after another, applying everything from Phase 1.

Questions Parents Ask

Scratch is a free, visual programming language built by MIT that lets kids code by dragging and dropping colourful blocks instead of typing text. It removes the syntax errors and typing barriers that trip up young beginners, so your child can focus on logic, sequencing, and creativity from their very first class.
This course is designed for children in Grade 1 to 4, roughly age 6 to 10. Younger children who are comfortable using a mouse and reading simple instructions generally do well with Scratch, and it works equally well as a first course for slightly older beginners who are new to programming.
The full course runs 15 weeks, with 3 classes a week at 60 minutes each, 45 classes in total. The first 5 weeks cover the core Scratch blocks one group at a time, and the remaining 10 weeks are spent building 12 real games and a final independent project.
Your child does not need strong reading or typing skills to start this course. Scratch uses icons, colours, and simple drag and drop blocks, so pre-readers and early readers can follow along with instructor support, and there is no typing involved in building a project.
Your child builds a real, playable project for almost every class, including a Bounce Game, a Catching Game, an Alien Invasion Shooter, and a Quiz Game, twelve projects in total, plus a final project your child designs independently. Nothing is copied from a tutorial; every project is built live during the session.
After finishing Scratch, most students move directly into YCA's Python Foundation Course, where the same logical thinking and sequencing skills carry over into real text-based code. Scratch is designed as a launchpad, not a standalone skill, so your child leaves ready for the next step.
