What learners will learn
What learners will learn.
Solid foundations, and a clear step from blocks toward text-based code.
Stronger coding foundations
Writing clearer, more capable programs with confidence.
From blocks to Python
Moving from block-based coding toward text-based Python.
Web basics
How web pages are put together, and how to build simple ones.
Robotics
Connecting code to hardware and real-world behaviour.
Project-based learning
Applying skills to projects that grow in scope.
Debugging and problem solving
Finding faults, fixing them and learning from them.
What learners build and do
Learning that ends in something made.
Learners work on projects that bring their skills together. Examples of what they may do:
- Write programs in Python
- Build a simple web page
- Program a robot
- Combine skills in a project
Learning approach
How learning works here.
- Hands-onLearners spend their time making and testing, not only watching.
- GuidedClear steps and support help learners keep moving forward.
- Project-basedSkills come together in finished pieces of work.
Learn
Clear, guided introductions to each new idea.
Practice
Hands-on exercises that put the idea to work.
Build
Small projects that bring the skills together.
Receive feedback
Guidance on what works and how to improve it.
Complete a project
A finished piece of work to show for the effort.
