Harness the power of the SCRATCH BLOCK AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE
DIFFERENT CIVILISATIONS WHILE LEARNING TO CODE! Explore the city of
Machu Picchu, sail the treacherous seas and meet South Africa’s
oldest inhabitants. It’s time to combine your wit and snap blocks
together with SCRATCH PROGRAMMING. All aboard the time machine!
KEEPIN’ IT SHORT & SNAPPY No experience necessary: Recommended
STARTING COURSE FOR KIDS 7+ In depth intro to block-based programming
Code with purpose: learn more about civilisations while learning
programming concepts SCRATCH IS FREE! Continue the learning at home
“My children, ages 10 and 7, found the class creative
and interesting, and I was impressed by the games they managed to
create. Most importantly, they're now excited by the world of
programming. Highly recommended!” - Maya, Parent
Adventurers Assemble! Travel back in time! With every quest you
complete, you’ll grow one step closer to building your own final
project at the end. Are you ready to code? Your journey will take
you far and wide... From the ancient city of Machu Picchu, where
dangers lurk around every corner. Master the motion block to help the
Inca villagers pick up items they need in order to deliver urgent
messages to their King. Then... Sail right to the heart of 7th Century
Northern Europe, when the Vikings roamed the seas! Help the viking
chief with your knowledge of variables & counters to collect magical
Runestones so he can travel the seas safely and protect his people.
Next... Head deep into the scorching sands of the Kalahari Desert.
Use your expertise with conditional logic to help the San People
gather food. That’s just a taste of the ADVENTURES YOU’ll ****
before you attempt your hardest challenge yet… Reinvent the
course of history with CODE! Test your mettle. Draw on your
experience. Use your coding superpowers… and create your own
animations and games! Put yourself in the shoes of these historical
people to understand their everyday limitations. Learn to code by
using examples from the civilisations to comprehend programming
concepts. Then use code to prototype your idea in the form of a story,
animation or even an application. Example of a project done by a
student of our class. With all the things you’ve learnt, who knows
what you’ll be able to code to make the world a better place!
OH! THE STUFF YOU'LL LEARN! What’s SCRATCH Code a character to move
about Sequences, loops and events Record, edit and add music Increase
complexity with Conditions and Variables Add timers, life counters and
scores Broadcast messages Test and debug using logic and systematic
reasoning Presentation time: On your last day, share with your parents
what you've learnt! LIFE SKILLS LEARNT Logical Thinking Problem
Solving Computational Thinking Presentation Skills
Pedagogy No lectures. No memorisation. No ONE right answer. Like real
life, we're all about trying things out, failing, figuring what went
wrong & trying again. These are the skills & mindset that will last a
lifetime. Let's get kids to learn how to learn. Because the kids who
learn to learn become curious, inventive, resourceful human beings who
solve real world problems to make meaningful impact. Parents
love us "My kids had a blast & came home armed with knowledge &
information which they were excited to share with us." - Joanne,

that is so much more than academics.. it’s fun but for me as a mum,

us! hello@saturdaykids.com Frequently Asked Questions 1. My
child is new to computers and programming. Will he / she be able to
follow? Of course! Start with Scratch: Adventures in Time is our
recommended introduction to programming course for kids 7 and up. Most
of our students come in with no prior programming knowledge and they
can still make awesome projects at the end of the day. 2. My child
has done some Scratch programming at school. Should he/she still
attend this course? If you’re not too sure how much your child knows
about Scratch programming, email us a link to your child's Scratch
profile and we can take a look and advise you. 3. My child is
younger than 7. Can he/she join? Scratch was designed for 7-10 year
olds but is used by people of all ages. Sadly, having a 6 year old in
the same class as a 10 year old may not result in the best learning
environment for the younger student. If your child is very keen, we
can organise separate classes if there is a minimum of 4 participants.
Please contact us directly to enquire. 4. I've enrolled my child,
what will he/she need to bring? We’ll provide all equipment and
materials, but you may want to bring a jacket and light snacks in case
he/she gets hungry. We'll give the class breaks in between so your
child can take that time to sip on some juice and munch on those yummy
crackers. Please note: This workshop will proceed with a minimum of
4 tickets sold. We will inform you in advance if the workshop is
cancelled. Refunds will be made accordingly. Unless otherwise
notified, the workshop will go ahead. We will be filming and taking
photographs of the children in our workshop. By registering a child's
attendance at this workshop, parents/guardians grant Saturday Kids a
perpetual licence to use the student's work, photographs or videos of
the student, and other materials for purposes such as publicising or
promoting our workshops/events and the students’ accomplishments on
Saturday Kids' website or on our partners' websites.
