Expert Scratch coding course for advanced students seeking to learn expert coding skills such as lists and custom blocks
Description
Help your child to learn a range of expert Scratch coding techniques and skills which they can use to create their own games. As your child learns, their confidence, enthusiasm and passion for coding will increase.
Once your child has mastered these techniques a new world of game making possibilities will be available to them.
This course is designed for parents who want to help their child to augment their coding skills with concepts that will enable them to move into scripting with languages such as Python and Swift.
Your child will learn how to code .. first person games concepts, smooth sprite collisions for corridor arcade type games, tracking offstage sprites that reappear on stage correctly, scrolling backdrops with scroll-x, professional health-bars, hit and collectible animations, sprites that use AI to choose targets, and clone associations to allow, for example, clone soldiers to fire an asscoaited clone bullet. Techniques learnt are transferable to a wide range of coding scenarios.
Coding is a primary skill for the modern workplace and this course provides the perfect platform for learning in-depth concepts for computer studies at A-level, further and higher education.
Our instructor is a qualified and experienced teacher who speaks clearly and precisely, leading the learner through the entire coding process. Each step is explained and demonstrated.
