What to expect from the class?

Basics of programming

Using the latest programs, students will begin to learn the concept of programming - creating the first interactive stories, games and animations.

Computational thinking

It is a problem-solving method that involves expressing problems and their solutions in a way that a computer can perform.

Logic

The principles of programming are also applied in everyday life: data, sequence of actions, conditions, summary and repetition of actions. In this way, the thought process is developed and logic is sharpened.

English and mathematics

The disciplines very closely related to programming - mathematics and English - help to better understand the principles of programming and the information provided.

Programa

1st trimester

We will start the school year with an introduction to Blockly, an educational programming language that allows students to master programming principles more quickly through the visual prism. Students will repeat the math and start programming. They will consolidate the knowledge by creating an individual project - a computer game.

2nd trimester

In the second trimester, students will get acquainted with the multi-platform game and application development tool Unity. They will learn to draw game elements and environment design with the Gimp graphics editor, and apply the knowledge to create or improve the game.

3rd trimester

During the spring trimester, students will create “Angry Birds” and “Tower Defense” type games, create additional elements and environments. At the end of the school year, students will be introduced to the Wix website development platform.

Technologies

During this school year, children will learn to work with the Blockly and Scratch programming language, the graphics editor Gimp, the Wix content management and website development platform, and the game development platform Unity.
