Game Creator Programme
Using Scratch by MIT
Using Scratch by MIT
Embark on a creative coding journey with Scratch by MIT! This beginner-friendly course introduces kids aged 8-10 to the world of programming through fun, interactive projects and games. Across two levels, students will learn how to think like a programmer, design animations, and create their own games, all using Scratch’s colorful drag-and-drop interface!
Level 2 ends with an exciting capstone project where kids develop their very own original game idea. Perfect for sparking creativity and building a strong coding foundation!

By the end of this programme, students will:
✅ Understand basic programming concepts (loops, events, conditionals, variables)
✅ Learn to design and code animations and games
✅ Develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills through hands-on projects
✅ Create multi-scene projects with characters (sprites), sounds, and effects
✅ Program games with multiple scoring objectives and termination conditions
✅ Plan, design, and build an original game from scratch for student portfolio
There are a total of 2 progressive levels (20 modules) to complete this programme:
Class progression is flexible, based on individual competency. Students with prior Scratch/Coding experience may require fewer than 10 sessions to complete one level. Similarly students who are weaker in certain topics may require more sessions for hands-on practice.
Total 10 modules over 10 sessions x 2 hours
✅ Understand basic programming concepts (loops, events, conditionals, variables)
✅ Learn to design and code animations and games
✅ Develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills through hands-on projects
Creating simple movement animations with angles and coordinates
Incorporating arrow key movements with scoring elements
Total 10 modules over 10 sessions x 2 hours
✅ Create multi-scene projects with characters (sprites), sounds, and effects
✅ Program games with multiple scoring objectives and termination conditions
✅ Plan, design, and build an original game from scratch for student portfolio

This programme is suitable for kids without prior background or experience in coding.
By default we will provide laptop for all our students to use in our classes. However you may wish to use your own laptop or tablet for this programme.
Scratch can be accessed through their online application so no software installation is necessary.
We will guide your child in creating their Scratch account during their first lesson with us. They just need to input either their own email address or your email address. By utilising the Scratch account, your child will be able to access their own game projects at home.
We do not recommend skipping levels even if your child has some prior experience because our programme goes in depth into various programming constructs and game mechanics. With that being said, kids who are older or who have prior experience will be able to progress through the modules much faster and will typically require fewer than 10 sessions to complete each level.
