Introduction to Programming Concepts using Scratch

In this 6-lesson course, students will use the Scratch visual programming language to build their own game. They will design their characters and world; create items to collect and obstacles to avoid, and implement a point scoring and levelling up system. The course will cover basic programming concepts including:

  • Computer program structure
  • Capturing and responding to events
  • Using loops to repeat actions
  • Decision making using conditions
  • Use of variables to keep track of state
  • Using coordinates to position objects in a 2 dimensional space

Learning to Programme Lua Using Roblox 

In this 12-lesson course, students build a 3D Roblox game using the Lua programming language. This course follows on from the Scratch course where students will further develop their programming and maths skills by learning some more advanced techniques including: 

  • Using coordinates to position objects in a 3-dimensional space.
  • Developing reusable code using functions
  • Debugging code using a debugger and printing variable state
  • Using encapsulation to manage the scope of variables
  • Using comments to develop easily maintainable reusable code

Learning Programming Basics using Python

In this 6-lesson course, students learn to program in Python - one of the most widely used programming languages in industry and one of the main languages taught in schools and universities.  This course covers all programming aspects of the GCSE curriculum. During this hands-on practical course, students will build small programs to learn how to:

  • Store data in variables and convert data between different data types
  • Programme decisioning logic and repeat actions using operators, conditions and loops
  • Manage collections of data using lists, sets, and dictionaries
  • Get data from users, files, and the internet and display information to users.
  • Build well-documented reusable code
