Safe learning environment
We encourage the girls to be innovators and risk takers. We believe that there are no failures, only solutions that are "more or less" effective.
Safe learning environment
tracking interest and open feedback
We are totally open to getting feedback from the girls to learn what interests them. We will also track their interest level periodically to gauge their level of interest.

Online coding and computer literacy classes designed for girls (7-18 years old)
Introduction to Scratch
Our youngest students start with block-based programming with an emphasis on developing foundational programming concepts and problem-solving skills. We use Scratch's block-based programming platform to introduce the girls to the world of coding. They will develop a love for coding by creating animated stories, interactive games and sharing them with their friends and family.
​
A product of MIT media lab, Scratch is designed specifically for children to help them develop 21st-century learning skills: thinking creatively, communicating clearly, analysing systematically, collaborating effectively, designing iteratively, and learning continuously. Scratch turns kids from media consumers into media producers, enabling them to create their own digital products.
​
As the girls progress through this program, they will learn about a wider variety of coding blocks that will enable them to make increasingly sophisticated games and animations. They will also develop their algorithmic thinking by learning and practicing coding concepts that they will use in the upcoming courses.
​
This course takes 20 sessions to complete.
