Game Design Modules
Does your child love gaming? Do you think they're intellectually gifted, curious, driven, and passionate about programming? Roboto Coding Academy offers game design and scratch programming for kids to bring their two interests together! See below for more information about our courses.
GD.1.1 - Game Developer Basic with Scratch 3.0
Software: Scratch 3.0
Hardware: Laptop
In this module of scratch programming for kids, students will be taught the workings of Scratch, working to craft their personal games, animations and stories. As they explore its functionalities, students learn to think systematically and creatively.

What better way is there to teach students computational thinking while making sure that they do
not lose focus? In this module students combine their favourite “block-based” game, Minecraft,
with block-based coding.
With an agent acting as a medium, students will be taught how to program their agent to assist
their character in performing complex tasks. From building a tower to making a farm, the agent
grants students a helicopter view of how individual codes can affect the overall action process.
As students code and craft a brand new world and rules, they can invite others to explore their
creations and learn how their script can have tangible effects on those around them.
