What to expect from the classes?

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.

Design thinking

Design-based thinking focuses not on choosing alternatives, but on designing new possibilities. It delves into the user's position and experience, explains what factors cause them.
