Immersion in the world

of programming and making
creative projects

Why choose
our course?

We program games and cartoons of various complexity

In the process of learning programming, the kids go from
creating simple animations to developing their own multi-level
games in Scratch with plots and soundtracks.

We develop creativity
When doing their projects, the children learn to formulate
ideas on their own and their teachers encourage the use of
innovative approaches to achieving their goals.

Each child learns at their own pace: teachers are always ready
to help, and the interactive platform is available at school and
at home.

At the end
of the course,
your child will be able
to do the following:
➔ program their own projects of varying complexity

➔ create games and cartoons in Scratch

➔ understand basic design principles

➔ apply non-traditional approaches to solving tasks

➔ create projects from idea to public presentation

➔ work in a team

Everyone will enjoy it!

➔ Young athletes can create their first sports games and be

able to play them with their friends;

➔ Lego and construction enthusiasts can program their own

interactive helicopter models;

➔ Creative types can make their first animated and musical

masterpieces, expanding their creative potential;

➔ Future scientists will get a great tool for visualizing their

great projects;

➔ Novice programmers will get their first necessary skills for

working with code as well as understanding and mastering
the basic principles of programming.

What will we learn in a year?

Programming: Meta-subject skills:

➔ basic concepts: objects, loops, conditional operator,
variables
➔ creating animations: a complex plot, animated characters,
sound and creating dialogs;
➔ algorithmic and logical thinking
➔ project development from concept to implementation
➔ teamwork

➔ game development: thinking through mechanics,

scenarios with multiple levels Deepening knowledge of the school curriculum:

➔ reading code, identifying errors and knowing how to fix ➔ the basics of astronomy
them
➔ understanding physical phenomena

➔ new concepts from mathematics

How do the lessons go?

● group lessons twice ➔ we start by discussing the material we learned at the last
or thrice week lesson

➔ we study theory
● lesson duration is
60 minutes ➔ we program on our personal laptops

● individual approach ➔ we work on projects: individually or as a team

to each child
➔ we do exciting quests and challenges, we solve various
interesting tasks

➔ we review the material at home in our workbooks

Students
of Algorithmics

➔ create a portfolio of their own projects

➔ find like-minded peers and friends, exchange ideas, help

one another

➔ participate and win in city and regional hackathons and

programming competitions
