Beginner level, ages 7–10: Coding with blocks, Scratch and logic games
Children learn to give a computer clear, step-by-step instructions by snapping blocks together, right in the browser. They play logic games, build Scratch animations and games, and find out how a computer can learn from examples. Every child finishes with a quiz game or a picture-sorting AI demo of their own.
At a glance
- Who it is for
- Children aged 7–10 (Classes 2–5), no coding experience needed
- Suggested practice
- About 1 hours a week
- Before you start
- None. Basic reading helps; a parent can sit with younger children.
- Covers
- Computer basics, Sequences, loops and conditions, Block coding, Scratch programming, Logic puzzles, What AI is
What you get
- Short video lessons with notes, resumable on any device
- Coding exercises that run and check themselves in the browser
- Quizzes, weekly projects and a final project reviewed by a teacher
- Progress for parents and a verifiable certificate
What your child will learn
- Computer basics: using a mouse, keyboard and browser safely.
- Coding concepts: sequences, loops, conditions and events.
- Block coding exercises that run and check themselves on the page.
- Scratch programming: sprites, motion, sounds, scores and simple games.
- Logic games and puzzles that build step-by-step thinking.
- What AI is, in simple words: computers that learn from examples, and why they can be wrong.
- Staying safe online: what never to share.
Week-by-week plan
The order can change slightly between batches, and every week ends with a hands-on activity.
| Week | Topic | What students do |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Welcome to Scratch | Tour the editor; make a sprite dance; first block-coding exercise on the page |
| 2 | Motion and coordinates | Move a sprite with arrow keys through a simple maze |
| 3 | Loops | Use repeat and forever to animate a scene |
| 4 | Events and messages | Make sprites talk to each other and switch scenes |
| 5 | Conditions | Build a catch-the-apple game with if, touching and else |
| 6 | Variables | Add a score, lives and a timer to the game |
| 7 | Make a quiz | Ask questions, check answers and keep score |
| 8 | How AI learns | Train and test a teacher-led image classifier with labelled examples |
| 9 | Safe and smart online | Privacy, kindness, and spotting when AI is wrong or unfair |
| 10 | Final project | Build, test and present a quiz game or an image-sorting AI demo |
Final project: a quiz game or a supervised image-classification demo
Students choose one: a quiz game on a school topic with scoring and feedback, or a teacher-supervised demo that sorts pictures into groups after being trained with examples. They explain how it works and what could make it fail.
- A clear goal and instructions for the player
- Loops, conditions and at least one variable
- Tested with a friend or family member, and improved
- For the AI demo: the examples used, results, and one mistake it made
How the course runs
- 10 weeks, one or two lessons a week of about 30–45 minutes.
- A short video lesson, then a block-coding exercise on the page or a Scratch activity.
- Works on a computer, laptop or Chromebook; a tablet works for most lessons.
- Live batches add a weekly session for questions, show-and-tell and pair coding.
Skills that last
Problem solving
Breaking a task into small steps and fixing one step at a time.
Logical thinking
Patterns, order and “if this, then that” reasoning that also helps in maths and reading.
Creativity
Children design their own characters, games and stories instead of only watching.

Frequently asked questions
Is age 7 too early for coding?
Not when it is play-based. At this level children use picture blocks rather than typing, and lessons are short, with a parent or teacher nearby for the youngest.
Does my child need to read well?
Simple reading helps. Videos show every step, and a parent can help with the words in the first weeks.
Does my child need a Scratch account?
No. Scratch works without an account. If a project is shared online, use a parent-managed account and never the child’s real name or photo.
