FAQs

Q: Is Scratch appropriate for all ages?

Q: What will my child be able to create after learning Scratch?

A: Your child will be equipped to build their own interactive stories, games, and animations. As they advance, they can undertake more complex projects like simulations and intricate interactive art.

Q: How do you keep up with each child's progress?

A: I perform regular check-ins and offer customizable challenges suited to each child's pace. Plus, I provide feedback and celebrate every milestone to ensure they remain motivated and inspired.

Q: Are there opportunities for group learning?

A: Yes, group sessions encourage collaboration and sharing of ideas. Learning from peers is as vital as learning from an instructor and can lead to wonderful project partnerships.

Q: Can parents get involved in their child's learning process?

A: Certainly! I periodically provide parent guides and organize sessions to demonstrate the amazing work our young coders are doing. Engaged parents can significantly boost a child's learning experience.
