Coding for Kids: Build Your First Games
About Course
Ever wanted to make your own video game instead of just playing one? This course is your starting point. Step by step, you’ll learn how code works and use it to build real, playable games you can share with friends and family.
We use block-based coding (like Scratch) so you can focus on ideas — characters, movement, points, and challenges — without worrying about typing tricky text. Every lesson is hands-on, beginner-friendly, and built around making something fun.
For parents: no special software or skills needed — just a computer and a free Scratch account (scratch.mit.edu). The course teaches real computational thinking: sequencing, loops, logic, and problem-solving.
What you’ll learn
- Understand what code is and how computers follow instructions
- Use loops, events, and conditionals to control characters
- Track scores and lives with variables
- Build a complete, playable game from scratch
- Find and fix bugs like a real programmer
- Share your game with friends and family
