Learning Outcome

• Programming concepts. After completing this course, your child will have a strong understanding of fundamental programming concepts, like events, user interactions, messaging, finite and infinite loops, conditionals, delays, keyboard and mouse control, pen drawing, visual effects, turning, directionality and motion.
• Computational thinking and reasoning. Programming is inherently a very systematic and logical way of providing instructions. Through the course students' develop and significantly hone these thinking skills.
• Problem solving and decomposition. With the over 200 activities in the course, your child's mind is trained to identify and break down a problem into smaller parts, and design an approach to solve it.
• Enhanced understanding of Common Core subjects. Working on Tynker projects reinforces student's understanding of math and science concepts.
• Become a maker. Every lesson encourages students to create. By the end of the course they would have learnt to build original games, digital comics, animations, make music, and create algorithmic art.
• Design thinking. Through the course your child will be faced with challenges, and steered through thinking of a solution. This teaches them 'design thinking' - that is, work through strategies, choose and use tools, develop prototypes and evolve an optimal solution to the challenge.
