Learn to code with Pocket Code

Children need 21st century skills like creativity and critical thinking to thrive in the rapidly developing world and we believe that coding can be a great tool to build these skills. This curriculum will empower kids in grade 6 and above to learn to code on smart phones with the Pocket Code platform to make games and applications to express themselves and solve problems.

The 10 lessons in the curriculum are,
  • Scaffold to build fundamental coding concepts,
  • Project based to solve contextual problems to build engagement in children and
  • Based on an open source platform Pocket Code which would let children code on smart phones if they don’t have access to computers.The resources consist of curriculum framework to give a sneak peek into the overall journey in the curriculum, presentations for each lesson to help students/parents/teachers to understand the content and videos to get step by step instructions for better understanding and engagement.

We believe that it would be a great repository for students to begin their coding journey and will give perspective to parents, teachers and educators while working with children.
We want to thank NetWeb Software for the support to build this curriculum so that children can learn to code to make the world a better place.
