What learners will learn
What learners will learn.
A first, friendly introduction to the ideas behind programming.
Introductory coding
Putting simple instructions together to make a program work.
Computational thinking
Breaking a problem into steps that a computer can follow.
Block coding
Building programs by connecting blocks, in tools such as Scratch.
Introductory robotics
Seeing how code makes a machine move and respond.
Problem solving
Spotting what went wrong, and trying again.
Small practical projects
Finishing small things that really work.
What learners build and do
Learning that ends in something made.
Learners put each idea to work. Examples of what they may do:
- Create a simple game
- Program a robot to move and respond
- Solve puzzles with code
- Show a small finished project
Learning approach
