This course is designed for elementary school students who are expressing interest in the IT sphere. The children will be introduced to Scratch — a visual programming language that will help them develop their logical and creative thinking.
Throughout the course, the students will transform a number of Scratch projects, both individually and cooperatively. The ultimate goal of the course is to teach the students how to create games and cartoons on their own.
